I’m not looking to sell this item, I’m just interested in
info. Several years ago while visiting London I bought a copy of Spiritualized’s
“Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space” limited version
where the CD is in foil tablet packaging like it is from a drug company along
with RX instructions for taking/listening to CD. I have kept the foil
sealed (never opened). Is this CD very rare at all?
I saw Air last night at the Hollywood Bowl (today is my birthday so I was
celebrating it early). The first act was Sondre Lerche who I am not
really familiar with. According to the Bowl;s web site he is from Norway.
He was o.k., kind of alternative folk I would say. Next Stereolab
played. They put on a very good set. They were accompanied by part
of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra on their last few songs. Air
was fantastic. They were accompanied by the LA Phil’s full
orchestra for their entire set which blended very well with their music.
Their set was pretty much a “Talkie Walkie” and “Moon Safari”
compendium with some “Virgin Suicides” thrown in. They closed
their set with a final encore of the track from “Lost in Translation”.
It was just an excellent night. It was about 82 degrees out
and a beautiful sunset. The moon (either full or near full) was projected
on the big screens at the end of the evening. I had box seats about 30
feet back from center stage and since the Bowl allows food and wine I brought a
few bottles of Merlot with some different cheeses, olive oil, fresh bread and
grapes (as if you wanted to know about that). I brought a friend with me
and sharing our box was a very nice Asian girl and her mother both of whom were
Air fanatics.
