Spacemen 3 のライブアルバムが、Mental Groove Rec から何で出たの?

The spacey genre of trance rock — marked by mellow, hypnotic guitar lines — can be risky. When it's bad, it's gaseous and dull. But when it's good it is no less than mesmerising. And the trance rock on this new EP is good, very good. 

Although Spacemen 3 have gone bust, former frontman Sonic Boom (yup) is carrying the torch with his new outfit Spectrum. On this all-covers four-tracker, Spectrum pare down all possible indulgences to arrive at a work of rare and simple beauty. 

There's even a dominant motif of reassurance, seen in song titles like Baby Don't You Worry and It's Alright, and in the pleasing lilt of the Beat Happening title track. 

Other artists getting the Spectrum treatment include Bo Diddley, Daniel Johnston and Jan and Dean. All four son5 are uniformly gorgeous.

None-more-positive review of Spectrum's Indian Summer EP from the Waterloo Region Record (Canada), 21 October 1993.

It surprised me too. Not the sort of thing I'm likely to go to, but yeah, good to see.

Found this from my regular Spacemen 3 search. Now wondering who you're referring to. Currently doing a watch-through while on the exercise bike, The Claws Of Axos today.

Spacemen 3— Sound of Confusion: The best Spacemen 3 album, mostly because it sounds better than the others when played loud as fuck. Sounds like how i imagine garage rock must’ve sounded when it was the new wild shit.

Spz! SFA! The line-up is looking good already - last year was great despite knowing very few acts. And resonably priced despite Ticketmaster's best efforts to add fees. Cheers @mogwai.scot. #bigcityfestival

A flyer advertising a coach trip to Spacemen 3's gig at the Mean Fiddler, Harlesden, 22 October 1987, although the departure time and set-off point have yet to be finalised. Presumably this is talking about a round trip from Rugby. This was the gig that was later released as Revolution Or Heroin.

Needless to say, somebody just came in said "Spacemen 3! I saw them live!"
Me, glancing up from their Wikipedia article: "Did they play Suicide for 45 minutes?"
"They did!"

An exerpt from a story on the BBC website about age verification for adult sites, that says: "George Lusty, director of enforcement at Ofcom, said it had 'been clear' adult sites needed to deploy robust age checks to protect children in the UK from seeing porn."
