Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen We are Floating in Space (space blue) (rock)

Ethereal, orchestral, and devastatingly beautiful — Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space is Spiritualized’s 1997 masterpiece, a widescreen blend of shoegaze, gospel, space rock, and heartbreak. Jason Pierce (J. Spaceman) crafted an album of sweeping ambition: lush string arrangements, cosmic textures, and raw lyrical emotion that cemented its reputation as one of the definitive records of the 1990s.

The Vinyl Me, Please Essentials pressing (E093) reintroduces this classic with audiophile care, pressed on stunning Deep Space blue vinyl that matches the album’s galactic aura. Released in September 2020, it presents the record across two heavyweight LPs, giving its dense arrangements room to breathe and shine.
