The Live at Leeds EP (Arista) followed in 1994 (with artwork styled after the Who's Live at Leeds), and in 1997, the group released Psychedelicatessen (Arista/BMG). Showbiz was a member of Moodswings up until the album Horizontal, which Hood solo-produced (Varèse Sarabande, 2002). Julee Cruise sings vocals on two tracks from Horizontal: "Seems to Remind Me (Of Love)" and "Into the Blue." Hood contributed "Storm in a Teacup" from the same album for the 2005 documentary Do You Believe? Another World is Possible.

Sounds like a signal from you
Bring me to meet your sound
And I will bring you to my heart
Love like a signal you call
Touching my body my soul
Bring to me, you to meet me here
Home be the temple of your heart
Home be the body of your love
Just like Holy water to my lips
Yes I do know how I survive
Yes I do know why I'm alive
To love and be with you
Day by day by day by day
Time, time again, it is said
We will hear, we will see
See it all-in his wisdom-hear
His truth will abound the land
This truth will abound the land
This State of independence shall be
This State of independence shall be
(Hey, hey Yayah yaya oh)

Touching my body my soul
Bring to me, you to meet me here

Yes I do know why I'm alive
To love and be with you
Day by day by day by day
Time, time again, it is said
We will hear, we will see
See it all-in his wisdom-hear
His truth will abound the land
This truth will abound the land
This State of independence shall be
This State of independence shall be

It was 1996 when I was first introduced to this song along with parts 2 & 3 - A guy I was dating played this CD on our first date. Needless to say I fell for him instantly entranced by the feels of “Spiritual High” parts 1,2 & 3. That relationship didn’t last but it’s now 2020 and I’m still in love... with these songs ♥️

March 2022 - Sat in bed, listening to this album, and reliving those wonderful first listens to this album all those years a go when this came out... 👌👌 😊😊😊 😎🇬🇧
Oh and, yes, some loves don't last, but love for great music always does.... 😊😊

I was only about 4 or 5 when my dad introduced me to this CD. He would always play it around the house and I fell in love with it. Up until last year I completely forgot about this album until I found it again in his CD collection. I'm 18 now and I'm so glad I was reunited with this album. Each listen is like listening to it for the first time, but it also feels so familiar.

I had this on cassette and never knew that I lost it. I spent two hours on the net yesterday looking for clues to their name. I couldn't find any. Then in bed it came to me. The same name as a Nails LP. Mood swings. Wow ! a great find of lost treasure !
