I'd like to sit around and dream you up a perfect miracle
I'd part the clouds and have the sun proudly shining on you
I'd take the stars as well and line them up to spell "Darling, I love you"
And little by little watch it all come true
"And little by little let it all come down" is how my reedit goes to the the opener "A Perfect Miracle" - which Jason Pierce does what Pitchfork claimed:
...simply distills and gathers the essence of what has often made Spiritualized so powerful—hypnotic hymns of self-doubt, charging rock ...
It is that distillation that makes this album a hark-back to his wondersome catalogue of Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating In Space, Let It Come Down and Lazer Guided Melodies to name but three. Even when the lyrics go drivetime - he literally has a song about driving a car down a hill - all the components of a true rock & roller still remain, and that was all our gain.
