Spacemen 3 - Playing With Fire

January 24, 2006


some of the spacemen 3 stuff touches on the britpoprock or shoegaze thing, but only from a distance. with a real long pole. it mostly stays over in the psychedelic droning trance area. and thats a really good thing. my favorite spacemen 3 songs (which are, in fact, all on this album) consist of lots of droning or repeating riffs and very very sparse drums, if any. sometimes theres a little bit of never-overpowering chanting/singing also. you could say this is a precursor to pharoah overlord's stuff, but from more of a rock place, instead of from the groove place that pharoah overlord comes from. anyways, i think i'm going to be so bold as to say that this is one of my most favorite CDs ever.

    i have to admit, i'm sort of working through my backlog of recommendations right now. i doubt you'll get so many recommendations in one week in the future. so don't get used to this much ;]
