Thank you! I did it!

There are a few exceptional records which simply take the listener to church. One unparalleled example is Glenn Goins calling down the Mothership at Parliament Funkadelic's performance in Houston in 1976.



But my personal favorite out-of-body musical experience is Spiritualized's Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space. The entire album is a neo-psychedelic gospel noisepop anthem and one of the finest and most cohesive works of the shoegaze genre.

J Spaceman and his band are accompanied by Dr John on the piano and the Hammond B3, as well as the voices of The London Community Gospel Choir. There are touches of hammer dulcimer, autoharp, accordion, string and horn sections, and pedal steel making for one brilliantly-refined heroin-inspired masterpiece.

The 17-minute closing epic, "Cop Shoot Cop" is a monumental performance. The track's foundation is a simple gospel blues oscillation between two fundamental chords. J's understated half-spoken vocals usher the listener through a series of verses varying on a primary lyrical theme, each punctuated by twelve bars of distortion pedal punching noise which culminates after the final verse with 6 minutes of an unrelenting eruption of cacophonous clamor. Impressively, the hyperactive electric bass which has been walking up and down scales for the duration of the piece slowly introduces and repeats the root note of the track and guides the performers through the fog machine and wall-of-sound pandemonium back to the familiar gospel structure for a few minutes of meditative peace while Spaceman repeats, "and I will love you...and I will love you..." for the album's finale.

This is a record best-experienced in your finest pair of circumaural headphones, and bested only by the 3-disc UK Limited Expanded Edition.

Ladies and gentlemen... we are floating in space.

I just fell in love with this track. It's so calming, and love the chord progression it has.



I also love the mood this song gives out.

Both of those are superb but attack on titan nearly brought me to tears. Excellent! Thank you all for sharing your listening material. Lots to ponder!

Nice to see you like them. Most people that I know don't like them, simply because they aren't "dance" music or Hip-Hop. lol

Anyway, That's the thing I love about music without lyrics! They could bring different emotions at different times, and they have a lot more room for self-expression. :)

Just how old is this girl? She's amazing thank you for showing me this. I need more music like this. It's so hard to find good raw vocals. For me at least.

I'd post something but, can't yet. Basically anything by Seung Son Yeon for sure. She's an amazing power house Korean vocalist. I really like the cover she did with her mom. Something Rainy Days.

This is the first song i ever heard from Bad religion and one of the first punk songs i trulty loved. When i first heard the part that goes:
"Go to Hell with Superman and Die like a champion, yeah hey!" I wanted to punch someone! it was the first time i heard such bravado in a punk song, that very day was also the day i first heard 'California Dreaming' which also blew me away but in a very different way.

Aw yeah just put a tap right into my 13 year old self with that song. huuuugh I listened to that song so much in my angst ridden early teens among many many other Cowboy Bebop songs. Like these which also did blow me away...and still do tbh,

Pretty sure I have not listened to this song in 10 years......I still know all the words aaaand....remember the pain as I listened to them.


I NEVER HEAR ANYTHING LIKE THIS! The whimsical sass to the singers voice.


And now we have some ULTRA SASS in the form of Cosmic Dare, this is also another song I do not hear similar of and still blows my mind is exists.
