Anybody like these bands? I'm just starting to get into them. So far I have 'singles' by spacement 3 and of course 'ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space' by spiritualized. What are some other good records by each band??

Perfect Prescription is definitely THE Spacemen album, but I like them all except Recurring (though their cover of "When Tomorrow Hits" on that album totally kicks ass all over Mudhoney's original).
Spiritualized's first album is great, as is Pure Phase. After Ladies and Gentlemen they got way too over-the-top with production and I kind of lost interest. It's a shame because I was obsessive before that. In the early to mid 90s Spiritualized were easily one of the best live bands on earth. If you can find a copy of the live album "Fucked Up Inside," I highly recommend it. "Playing With Fire" is a great Spacemen album too, by the way. Also, Sonic Boom's Spectrum project has some good stuff. The albums Soul Kiss (Glide Divine) and Highs, Lows and Heavenly Blows are both great. His E.A.R. project has some good stuff and a lot of regurgitative stuff that is not so interesting, but worth checking out of you like pure minimalist drone. |

The problem with Spacemen 3 is that the market has been flooded with shoddily packaged releases of demos and the like, e.g. Taking Drugs to Make Music to Take Drugs To, Forged Prescriptions, For All The Fucked Up Children of the World, and I'm sure there have been several others. It's diluted their legacy too much.

Prescription had two vinyl pressings, but it was some time ago.

Are you talking about the perfomance album, because that contains the best version of walking with jesus ever. Also check out dream weapon, which contains the mighty 40 minute long drone piece an evening of contemporary sitar music. great stuff!

yeah there is a joke, that spacemen 3 only made like 5 songs, and all their albums are just reworkings of those same songs. But I really liked forged prescription maybe even more than perfect prescription.

Dreamweapon is a meditative masterpiece for sure. I have both the CD and LP versions of that; the CD version of Dreamweapon is a lot longer, but the LP has a reversed groove and plays from the label outwards. Also, it contains a LONG version of "Ecstasy In Slow Motion" on the flip side that is really beautiful. Didn't get the reissue; figured I'd dropped enough cash on this album as it was!

Both Ace bands. I often forget how great Spiritualised are/were. I've seen them 5 times. I liked let it come down, it's a great pop record.
Spacemen 3 did only write one song, but it's a good 'un. Has anyone ever tried to play their stuff? It's unbelievably painful to play one chord for 15+ minutes.

I love Spacemen 3 and Spritualized have some awesome stuff too. I like Sound of Confusion the best....prob. because it has 2.35. Taking Drugs to Make Music to Take Drugs To is a good collection too and it has one of the best album titles ever.

I have that record. I think Performance is a little better, but it's still good. Haven't listened to it a ton, but I'm glad I have it.
