Spiritualized, the band-cum-pharmaceutical, have lined up an interactive multimedia experience for their fans and the psychedelic-minded (who undoubtedly overlap a bit) to complement the release of their first album in five years, Songs In A&E. The triumphant result, Harmonies, can be viewed and experienced at spiritualizedharmonies.com (possibly a play on the name of recent collaborator Harmony Korine?). The site is like using Windows Media Player through John Lennon's hookah-fogged glasses. Upon entering, it will implore you to "Turn down the lights and turn up the volume." The menu screen appears like some kind of otherworld TV station, and becomes a virtual Spirograph-meets-a-planetarium when you stream the MP3s without the accompanying visual. The new video for the poppy A&E single, "Soul On Fire," is available for viewing, along with clips for older classics like "Electricity" and "Stop Your Crying." And unlike say, an accompanying DVD, it's free! Playlist For Harmonies: 01. Soul On Fire 02. Sweet Talk 03. Baby I'm Just A Fool 04. Stop Your Crying 05. Ladies And Gentlemen 06. Electricity 07.
