Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.
UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.
COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.
Spiritualized are an English space rock band formed in 1990 in Rugby, Warwickshire by Jason Pierce (often known as J. Spaceman), formerly of Spacemen 3. After several line up-changes, in 1999, the band centered on Pierce (vocals, guitar), John Coxon (guitars, keyboards), Doggen Foster (guitar), Kevin Bales (drums and percussion) and Tom Edwards (percussion and keyboards) with revolving bassists, current player Thomas Wayne has being playing with the band since 2009. Spiritualized has always been Jason Pierce plus a rotating cast of supporting musicians.
Jason Pierce's Spacemen 3 group got some airplay by Peel, but when he formed Spiritualized, JP seemed to be more enthusiastic about their material than it's predecessor and would continue play Spiritualized's music well into the late 90's, with two sessions and live sets being broadcast for his show. Peel's listeners also voted their tracks three times in the Festive Fifty during the 90's.
22 October 1995 (BFBS): 'Lay Back In The Sun (CDS)' (Dedicated) (JP: 'That reminds me very much of some Marc Bolan song, although I can't remember which one exactly.')
