Where do I start? From the beginning? 'Cause I heard some samples of early stuff and it still sounds good today. I actually was'nt too impressed with A&E after sampling the back catalog, but that's just a one off impression. Any recoms to get started?

just get ladies and gentlemen. ive heard spiritualized before and after that album, but i have yet to hear anything as good. in fact, that album is the only spiritualized i really like.

Lazer Guided Meloidies
Pure Phase
Let It Come Down
Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space
Amazing Grace

All of these records are awesome.

Start with "Perfect Perscription" by Spacemen 3.

I really like A & E, actually. You might want to give it another chance. Also, catch them live if you can. They're still on tour, I believe.

if you really dig what you hear in these...check out the rest.

I will take in all advice.

Postmersh, I sorta figured I was on my way to Spaceman 3 after reading all the criticisms I had dug up.

Thanks all.

Are you into trancy, psychedelic Spiritualized? Or are you like me, and more into their orchestral pop stuff?

So far, I am liking Lazer Guided and Ladies and Gentleman the most.

This guy knows his stuff.

Then move on to "Playing with Fire" by Spacemen 3 and follow the chronological release pattern
Spritiulized - Lazer Guided Melodies
Spiritualized - Pure Phase <--- good, but not wholly essential
Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen We're Floating in Space
Spiritualized - Live at Royal Albert Hall

Then, honsetly... you can stop.

I have "let it come down" and although this is one of the greatest styled packages for a cd, I always was bored by this record.

It sucks, for sure.

oh really? so I bought the wrong album from them? the others are better?

Yes.

I do like Amazing Grace, whose cover your avatar is from, correct?

That would be me.

berliner / Banger-

Hard to keep track. Sorry.

Oh, no problem at all.

I see. I was a little bit shocked when you mentioned my avatar. so, but it's still sad that the only album from the spiritualized I own, sucks. at the beginning of this evening I thought about the possibility of giving it another spin, but now it's almost midnight and I listen to neil young.
or is it cool through headfones?

I've never listened to it through headphones, but J Spacemen puts a lot of work into his mixes, so it could be worth a try.

Don't forget "Fucked Up Inside" too.
