Song in Space

Amidst the ornate, long-winded Floydian sonic layers and elaborate prog-influenced set pieces that The Church seem to specialise in these days, it's easy to forget that these stalwarts can still rock out, and how.

Take 2004's exceptional "Song in Space" as an archetypal example of how hard and smart The Church can rock: a strident, edgy rocker filled to the brim with sculpted white noise and a virtual encyclopaedia of guitar effects, couched within a truly commanding and highly assured performance.
