Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space (Double Black Vinyl)

"Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space" is the third studio album by English space rock band Spiritualized, released on 16 June 1997. Spiritualized’s most celebrated album, and Kate Radley’s last as a member, the core line up added Damon Reece on drums as well as featuring contributions from Dr John, the London Community Gospel Choir, B.J Cole and 19 technical personnel. It took its title from a passage in Joystein Gaarder’s novel “Sophie’s World”, where a young girl attempts to define the meaning of life by travelling through time and space, meeting the world’s great philosophers. The album features guest appearances from the Balanescu Quartet, The London Community Gospel Choir and Dr. John.

"Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space" has since been acclaimed as one of the best albums of the 1990s on various publications' decade-end lists. Pitchfork ranked it at number 55 on their list of the top 100 albums of the 1990s. In 2010, the album was also named one of the 125 Best Albums of the Past 25 Years by Spin.
