SPACEMEN 3
Spacemen 3 were psychedelic in the loosest sense of the word; their guitar explorations
were colorfully mind-altering, but not in the sense of the acid rock of the '60s.
Instead, the band developed its own minimalistic psychedelia, relying on heavily
distorted guitars to clash and produce their own harmonic overtones; frequently,
they would lead up to walls of distortion with overamplified acoustic guitars and synths.
Often the band would jam on one chord or play a series of songs, all in the
same tempo and key. Though this approach was challenging, often bordering
on the avant-garde, Spacemen 3 nevertheless gained a dedicated cult following.
After releasing several albums in the late '80s, the band fell apart after in 1991

Drawing together some earlier material and a slew of new songs, Spacemen 3 tied everything together on
the brilliant Perfect Prescription, the clear point of departure from tribute to psych inspirations and finding
its own unique voice. Planned as a concept album, Perfect Prescription works where so many other similar
efforts failed due to the strength of the individual songs, as well as the smart focus of the concept in question,
a vision of a drug trip from inception to its blasted conclusion, highs and lows fully intact.
Guest performers from the Jazz Butcher family tree, including Alex Green on sax,
help expand the record's sonic range even further...(AllMusic)
