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:
“... probably all of the women in this book are working to make part of the same quilt to keep us from freezing to death in a world that grows harsher and bleaker—where male is the norm and the ideal human being is hard, violent and cold: a macho rock. Every woman who makes of her living something strong and good is sharing bread with us.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
“Not so many years ago there there was no simpler or more intelligible notion than that of going on a journey. Travel—movement through space—provided the universal metaphor for change.... One of the subtle confusions—perhaps one of the secret terrors—of modern life is that we have lost this refuge. No longer do we move through space as we once did.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
