Gil Scott-Heron - Spirits25th anniversary edition of "Spirits" Spirits is the 1994 album by Gil Scott Heron. The title track is an interpretation of the John Coltrane piece, and "The Other Side" is a live version of Scott Heron's 1971 track "Home is Where the Hatred Is" with a new arrangement and many new verses that expand the original to nearly twenty minutes. It was later sampled for "Home" on the 2011 Jamie XX collaboration album, We're New Here.
