Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space
Following two sold-out Barbican Hall shows in December 2009, Spiritualized return this autumn to perform their seminal album Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space live in its entirety. The band will be joined on stage by a 15-piece orchestra (percussion, brass, strings) and a gospel choir.
Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space was released in 1997 and is one of the most critically acclaimed releases of the decade, which has continued to be a major influence on the contemporary music scene to this day.
As J Spaceman himself said: "It's the 20th anniversary next year so we figured we should be playing a celebratory concert to coincide.

I just didn't wanna pass on the opportunity to perform Ladies and Gentlemen... live again. It's such a massive and detailed piece of music to play and is still as demanding and relevant to me as it was on its release. In one 70 minute blast it just about covers everything I still find interesting and engaging in music...from free jazz, doo-wop, and soul to rock & roll, gospel, and the blues...All with heavy guns and the Barbican's wide screen stage as the backdrop…It's a real honour to be asked to play it there again."
