Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, Spiritualized's third album, drifted out on Dedicated on 16 June 1997, and Jason Pierce, the former Spacemen 3 man known as J. Spaceman, produced it himself as a full-scale cosmic opera. Space rock is the frame, but he crowds it with guests: the Balanescu Quartet, the London Community Gospel Choir and Dr. John all turn up, and the record swings between narcotic hush and holy, overdriven roar.
The title track opens it in a haze and swells toward the heavens, while "Come Together" hits like a jet engine revving on the runway. It remains the band's best-known and most acclaimed album, and NME named it Album of the Year. Pure Phase came before it and Let It Come Down followed.
