Singer/guitarist Jason Pierce formed his group Spiritualized from the ashes of trance-rockers Spacemen 3, combining his prior band's trademark hypnotic minimalism with uplifting atmospheric lightness that reached a peak with their 1997 classic Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space and the 2001 international chart success Let It Come Down. With extended gaps between releases, Spiritualized continued into the 2010s with Sweet Heart, Sweet Light and And Nothing Hurt.
