Every now and then I realise I know nothing. And it's at those points I wonder why I bother.
Complete Works V.1 by Spiritualized got a lot of play over the weekend in tandem with their new stuff. Many of the songs I already knew, of course, but Anyway That You Want Me I didn't, and I was muchly impressed. Likewise the Medication EP versions of stuff, including Feel So Sad and the title track in particular. Amazing Grace is a very good album, better than the last, but CWV1 throws it into pointed relief; AG really isn't a return to anything, because he never really left anything. The drones are gone, long live the drones. Brevity is the key to the new Sprtlzd LP (can we call it an LP? It's a cyberspace construct only at the moment) but brevity is resolutely not the key to CWV1. Repetition, extension, elongation.
