This is the first Spiritualized b-sides/rarities album, and has been worth the wait. This album covers the period of their first two albums (the amazing debut 'Lazer Guided Melodies' and the fantastic 'Pure Phase'), 1990 to 1993. The first track is the first Spirtualized single, 'Anyway That You Want Me' a cover of a 1967 Troggs single. It is startling - the trademark sound of Spiritualized is quickly established, and it is interesting to note that this was recorded when Spacemen Three were still together. The album is made up of two discs, and other highlights of the first disc include THREE(!!!) versions of Feel So Sad, Run and Sway, which is especially brilliant.
The second disc starts with 100 Bars (Accapella), which is a bit dull unless you like the sound of Kate Radley counting to 100. 'I Want You' is moving, but Medication (from 'Medication' EP)is powerful and perhaps better than the version on Pure Phase. 'Smiles', from the same EP, is suberb, as it starts ominously with some fuzz, then Pierce enters the fray briefly, stating "When you smile you are blinded to all the horrors I see" then the songs becomes a superb instumtmental, with great drums. Other highlights include the glorious pop of 'Good Dope/Good Fun' and 'Good Times'. This album is on the whole very interesting, and makes you want to delve more deeply into the history of one of the best bands of the last ten years. Roll on Volume Two, out later this year.

More accurately The Complete Works Excluding Album Tracks And With Some Omissions, this limited edition release is nonetheless a marvellous collection of rare singles, EPs, promo recordings, flexi-discs, fan club exclusives and a complete John Peel session, all in pristine CD quality (even when one track had to be mastered directly from a flexi-disc as the original acetate master had been destroyed).
A few B-sides are missing - yet the 7 minute B-side version of Sway taking up valuable space turns out disappointingly to be identical to the readily-available LP version.
Nevertheless, it is a worthy endeavour to make the bulk of one's catalogue available on CD and the two discs have been sympathetically programmed

it's hard to believe that the earliest tunes on this compilation came out over ten years ago. Grunge, brit-pop and any other movement you care to name have come and gone since while Spiritualized continue to build their drugged-out space-scapes, defying classification while making some of the best albums of the past decade.
this compilation consists of alternative versions (some previously unreleased) of tunes that appear on 'lazer guided melodies', and the single versions of other early releases. As such, it's probably one for the fans rather than casual listeners.
Although having said this, you would have to have a heart of stone not to have it melted by 'feel so sad'...
