1992年《懒惰引导旋律》（Lazer Guided Melodies）推出。《懒惰引导旋律》那如同来自天外的美丽调子给了听众一个惊喜，甚至被媒体评论为自“石玫瑰”的同名大碟之后最优秀的处女作。也有人说《懒惰引导旋律》和“我血淋淋的情人节”（My Bloody Valentine）的《无爱》（Loveless）以及“原始尖叫”（Primal Scream）的《尖叫迷幻》（Screamadelica）并列，是90年代初英国新音乐的三张革命性经典专辑。一气呵成的流畅优美使得《懒惰引导旋律》被公认为“净化”最美丽的专辑。 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lazer Guided Melodies was the first album by the British space rock group Spiritualized. Recorded by the inaugural line up of the band, consisting of Jason Pierce (vocals, guitars), Mark Refoy (guitars), Will Carruthers (bass), Jonny Mattock (drums) and Kate Radley (keyboards). The album was recorded, mostly in VHF studios in Rugby, from 1990 to 1991, and mixed by Pierce in London. The album was first released on Dedicated Records in March 1992, on cassette, Compact Disc and Vinyl (2 x LP, with initial copies containing an additional free 7"). Initially released on CD and on two 45rpm vinyl LPs, the album's twelve songs are segued together into four color coded (red, green, blue, black), cross-faded suites. Lazer Guided Melodies is unique in Jason Pierce's oeuvre as it simultaneously explores motorik, minimalist music, and space rock while subtly using "meticulously detailed, layered instrumentation, the sumptuous deployment of horns and strings" to create cinematic, textured, and deeply narcotic soundscapes. As critic Simon Reynolds observed in his Melody Maker review The 'Ized Of March: "Spiritualized's music quivers with Apollonian attributes - airiness, fleetness, radiance, serenity...at times, Spiritualized recall the Kraut version of freeway rock known as motorik, in particular Neu..."Run" is all about the exhilaration of cutting loose, of goalless propulsion..."If I Were With Her Now" is throbbing motorik too...swathed by scintillating guitar chimes like the world whooshing by...along with motion, Spiritualized's other consummate metaphor for release is ascension... "Step Into The Breeze"...a Wiltshire water meadow...pastoral bower of bliss..."Symphony Space" an amorphous flux of orchestral resonances that hover and ache, swim and brim, for a small eternity. The sound of heaven...at times, Spiritualized are making 21st Century gospel."
