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.

Every once in a while a record comes along that somehow manages to define an era. in the late 80's there can be no doubt that one such record was released - and that record was Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3. Fuelled by narcotic indulgence and an overwhelming sense of darkness it was rightly hailed as a classic at the time and is still considered to be one of the greatest albums of the time by many today. Its mesmerising beauty and sublime originality are still recognised as a genuine triumph to this day.

2CD - Double CD with live versions of Suicide and Repeater and recordings of Che and May the Circle be Unbroken. Not only that but they've also included a second CD full of studio out-takes and demos, including the Spacemen 3 version of Any Way That You Want Me - the song which went on to become Spiritualized's debut single.
