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:
“To see ourselves as others see us can be eye-opening. To see others as sharing a nature with ourselves is the merest decency. But it is from the far more difficult achievement of seeing ourselves amongst others, as a local example of the forms human life has locally taken, a case among cases, a world among worlds, that the largeness of mind, without which objectivity is self- congratulation and tolerance a sham, comes.”
—Clifford Geertz (b. 1926)
“But alas! I never could keep a promise. I do not blame myself for this weakness, because the fault must lie in my physical organization. It is likely that such a very liberal amount of space was given to the organ which enables me to make promises, that the organ which should enable me to keep them was crowded out. But I grieve not. I like no half-way things. I had rather have one faculty nobly developed than two faculties of mere ordinary capacity.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
