CD Reviews

Spacemen 3-'Dreamweapon'(Sympathy For The Record...)
Mike Reed | USA | 09/21/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"One thing about 'Dreamweapon' is that it's quite a bit different from their other live recordings, at least the ones that I've heard. Originally released in 1990 and reissued in 2003. The tracks on 'Dreamweapon' were recorded at a UK concert that took place in August,1988. Really enjoyed the 44-minute epic "An Evening Of Contemporary Sitar Music" which, of course features some top notch guitar (though it sounds like sitar) playing. Best described as dreamy neo psychedelia. The disc's other two cuts are "Ecstasy In Slow Motion" and "Spacemen Jam", which were penned by Sonic Boom. Basically,if you're a Spacemen 3 fan and you even somewhat dig sitar playing, you SHOULD have no problem digging on this CD. A must-have."
La Monte Young Meets Punk
Mike Reed | 03/17/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"La Monte Young's classic band (archival material has been released by John Cale) was the seed of the Velvet Underground and is clearly where Spacemen 3's influences lie. Most of their albums are focused around trippy psych punk jams. However, this cd leaves out the harsher edges and is a punked out modern day equivalent of what La Monte Young and Terry Riley were doing in the sixties. On first listen you may find this album to be repetitive and unfocused but if you try to use it as an ambient experience rather than trying to relate to it as a song you will really enjoy it. This is ambient music that "goes somewhere""
Best for going to sleep to

"too bad this is out of print again! the first track is revelatory (and not just because it reveals fragments of many songs that would appear on 1989's Playing with Fire). in addtion, it's a fantastic album to fall asleep to!"
