The news?

The news is that we are now firmly in the beginning of the long silence/gap between Spiritualized releases. Count on an announcement of new album recording plans in about a year, an announcement of the new album's release in two years, and the actual release in five years.

Geez, depressing post Rev. Hopefully we'll get something new before the next album.

absolutely, lets not forget the various issues between album releases down the years. the current incarnation of spiritualized is the best since LAGWAFIS tour IMO and im sure he'll put that energy they have into good use soon

Yeah I hope J puts the momentum of the current form of the band to good use. Personally I'd love, as well as the Acoustic Mainlines DVD, a good quality (but RAW, no Albert Hall overdubs) live album of the current band.

I hope it's not gonna be silence from the Spz camp from now on. At least there's the Oz/Japan tour so we know they are up to something. This tour and album has been a vintage period if you ask me. Shame the wider world doesn't agree (A&E has made hardly any of the year end lists and they barely managed to fill the bloody Cambridge Junction!!). Its weird coz this is surely one of Jason's most open and accessible albums.

Is it too early for a 'what do you want/expect from the next album' thread?

Why hasn't there been a proper Spiritualized DVD? Pink Floyd has a million of them! I would have thought Albert's Hall would be smashing on DVD (even without the clever overdubs, which I thought were brilliant!)

Man, I'm so lucky I managed to hear spiritualized when I did (about 6 months ago) - and see them in october. If I'd have been getting into them now I would have gutted that I'd missed this tour. They were truly amazing when I saw them and im just thankful that I did. I'd love a dvd from an earlier performance though.

how many of our lives will change in these 5 years?

Mine too - in less than 3 weeks in fact. One of my children becomes a teenager which I regard as pretty life-changing.

It seems that Spiritualized are currently without a label? They have had too many label issues over the years.They need to move on from the major label thing, find a decent indie label, and stick with them. Jasons quoted desire not to make any real money from releases can't go down well with the major labels. I wonder if any labels have made any money out of spiritualized over the years? I bet Let it Come Down cost the label dearly.

Until something gets sorted and without an improbable move to digitial downloads, sadly I think there will be no news and no releases.

Whatever is happening with their label, I hope we get some sort of 'signs of life'- even when there is no major news. There's plenty of stuff that could keep us amused for a while (DVD, boots & downloads, Dj lists and other recommendations).

They must have already played their Melbourne gig already! Hope it went well. I wonder if they will do a desert excursion while they're there (or a desert gig - that would be amazing!).:D

we have discussed this, the moderators that is, and we will see if we can get some sort of updated 2009 gig list. as far as the tour history we are going to have to defer that to ANYONE that may have kept track. That would be a start and a nice addition to this message board/web site.

I just heard back from Spiritualized's manager and he said updating the site has been an issue and hopefully it wiill be resolved soon. Maybe as early as tomorrow.
This is regarding new news and 2009 tour dates anyway.

That's good to hear - thanks.

I know other people have mentioned this but we are all gagging for a new live record - this has been a fantastic tour and the band sound mighty. Here's hoping!
