Spiritualized and Fat Possum Records today announce the reissue of Amazing Grace on 19th January 2024 as part of the second volume of The Spaceman Reissue Program: Curated by J Spaceman. Remastered for vinyl in London by engineer Matt Colton, the 180 gram album features lacquer cuts by Metropolis Mastering, presented in a gatefold jacket designed by Mark Farrow.
Somewhat overlooked at the time, Amazing Grace is possibly the heaviest and most intimate Spiritualized record. A wild collection of blazing garage rock songs and beautifully tender, sometimes devastatingly sad, ballads. They are songs that reach for help from a broken place, ragged and lonely, in love with a world hanging by a thread. The feeling of the gospel standard that inspired the title ā āthrough many dangers, toils and snares I have already comeā ā hangs like a shadow over the whole record, and J Spacemanās heart and soul lies very close to the microphone.
Absolute nihilism bleeds through the opening song āThis Little Life of Mineā: āThis little life of mine / Iām gonna let it slide / Iām gonna let it burn / Iām getting sick of trying.ā In āThe Ballad of Richie Leeā, a lament to the late Acetone singer, we have maybe the most brutally sad moment of the entire Spiritualized catalog: āHeās got his name on a rock again / And this time itās the lastā.
Then, out of the blackest nights of the soul, beautiful hymns appear, odes to falling in love and staying in love. Songs like āHold Onā, āOh Babyā and āRated Xā where we āPut your hand in my hand and maybe weāll forget / That life had even started before the day we met.ā
The recording of Amazing Grace was fast and experimental, executed in three weeks at Rockfield Studios in Wales. Spaceman would present the band with an idea for each song on the day of recording, and they would experiment until it felt right. The core musicians,John Coxon, Tony Foster and Tim Lewis were players au fait with the abstract and experimental, finding the sweet spots where The Stooges meet Arvo Part, where Patsy Cline meets 13th Floor Elevators and Aretha Franklin is down with Miles Davisā Get Up With It. The result of this method is a polar opposite to the symphonic grandeur of its predecessor Let It Come Down but more powerful in its emotional impact.
