Sharing Space is the second full-length album by Australian progressive rock band Cog, released on 12 April 2008. The album debuted at number 2 on the Australian Music Charts. The album was produced in Weed, California by Sylvia Massy, who produced their first album, The New Normal and has worked with artists such as Tool and Spiderbait. Midway through recording, their record label, Difrnt Tunes, had a change of management. This forced the band to speed up the recording process, which was already over budget, recording the second half of the album on a 7-day-a-week schedule. The "bodies upon the gears" speech at the beginning of "The Movie's Over" was a speech given by Mario Savio in 1964 at the University of California, Berkeley.
Music videos for the songs "What If", "Bird of Feather" and "Are You Interested?" have been produced.
3 songs from the album featured in the Triple J Hottest 100 in 2007 and 2008 collectively; with "What If" at 47 in 2007, "Bird of a Feather" at 31 and "Are You Interested?" at 97 in 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words sharing and/or space:
“We fight our way through the massed and leveled collective safe taste of the Top 40, just looking for a little something we can call our own. But when we find it and jam the radio to hear it again it isn’t just ours—it is a link to thousands of others who are sharing it with us. As a matter of a single song this might mean very little; as culture, as a way of life, you can’t beat it.”
—Greil Marcus (b. 1945)
“With sturdy shoulders, space stands opposing all its weight to nothingness. Where space is, there is being.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
