Spiritualized-Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space
This advertisement is promoting the re-release of Spiritualized’s 1997, award winning album ‘Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space’. It has a very simple monochrome design with the background being completely black and the text in white. The image that appears in the advertisement is the same as the one on the original CD cover. This image dominates most of the advert as people may recognise this from ten years ago and it will grab their attention. The name of the band is in bold showing its importance and then the album title. Along the left hand side it shows the audience that it was NME’s album of the year in 1997 then shows that the album now includes. This is because people need to know why they should buy an album they may already have. It entices fans because it tells us there is ‘unheard material’ and better versions of original songs which people would want to add to their collection. It also has reviews from various newspapers to invite new listeners. It then tells you where you can purchase the album and the release date.
