Spiritualized, sometimes stylized as Spiritualized®, are an English space rock band formed in 1990 in Rugby, Warwickshire by Jason Pierce
(who often goes by the alias J. Spaceman) after the demise of his previous outfit, space-rockers Spacemen 3. The membership of Spiritualized
has changed from album to album, with Pierce — who writes, composes and sings all of the band's material — being the only constant member.
Spiritualized have released six studio albums. The best known and most critically acclaimed of these was 1997's Ladies and Gentlemen We
Are Floating in Space, which NME magazine made their Album of the Year.
