Space Age Recordings

Space Age Recordings is an influential music label owned by Gerald Palmer, who was previously the manager of Spacemen 3. With a rich history in the music industry, Space Age Recordings has become known for its diverse range of artists and genres. From alternative rock to experimental sounds, this label has consistently delivered groundbreaking music that pushes boundaries and captivates listeners. With a reputation for quality and innovation, Space Age Recordings continues to be a leading force in the e-commerce music scene.

Spacemen 3, the influential English rock band formed in 1982, is known for their unique blend of psychedelic and space rock. Comprised of Jason Pierce and Peter Kember, the duo created a sound that pushed boundaries and captivated audiences with its hypnotic melodies and experimental approach.
With their debut album "Sound of Confusion" released in 1986, Spacemen 3 quickly gained recognition for their innovative soundscapes and introspective lyrics. Their subsequent albums, including "The Perfect Prescription" and "Playing With Fire," further solidified their status as pioneers in the genre.
Despite disbanding in 1991, Spacemen 3's influence continues to resonate within the music industry. Their sonic explorations have inspired countless artists across various genres, making them an enduring force in alternative music history.

Back In Stock

Digitally re-mastered by John Rivers at Woodbine Studios, November 2017. August 1988, Spacemen 3 embark on one of the strangest events in the band's already strange history. Billed as "An Evening of Contemporary Sitar Music" (although consciously omitting the sitar), the group would play in the foyer of Watermans Arts Centre in Brentford, Middlesex to a largely unsuspecting and unsympathetic audience waiting to take their seats for Wim Wenders' film Wings of Desire. Spacemen 3's proceeding set, forty-five minutes of repetitive drone-like guitar riffs, could be seen as the Sweet Sister Ray of '80s Britain. Their signature sound is at once recognizable and disorienting – pointing as much to the hypnotic minimalism of La Monte Young as to a future shoegaze constituency. On this reissue, Dreamweapon is augmented by studio sessions and rehearsal tapes from 1987 that would lead up to the recording of Spacemen 3's classic Playing With Fire album. Spacemen Jam, featuring Sonic Boom and Jason Pierce on dual guitar, is a side-long mediation on delicate textures and psychedelic effects.
