'' is the second album from
Liverpool -based Britpop group
Space . It was released on
March 9 ,
1998 and peaked at #3 in the UK charts, two places higher than their debut album ''
Spiders ''. The songs "Avening Angels", "The Ballad of Tom Jones" (a duet with Catatonia's
Cerys Matthews ), "Begin Again" and "Bad Day's" were released as singles, all hitting top 40. It is notably more polished, heavy on synths and pop-orientated than ''Spiders''.
Earlier limited editions of ''Tin Planet'' came with a special metallic tin packaging, presumably to fit with the 'metal' theme of the sleeve artwork.
