Fire Records

Fire Records is an independent record label headquartered in London, England, UK. Founded in the mid 80s, Fire Records has been a prominent force in the music industry for decades. They have released early records from Pulp, Teenage Fanclub, Spacemen 3, Blue Aeroplanes, and many other influential artists. In the early 90s, the label was home to notable acts such as Neutral Milk Hotel, The Lemonheads, Built to Spill, and Urge Overkill.With a rich history of discovering talent and nurturing their careers, Fire Records remains dedicated to supporting groundbreaking musicians across various genres. Their diverse roster showcases both established names and emerging talents who push boundaries and challenge conventions.

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

Spacemen 3's second album is a remarkable departure from the band's 1986 debut, Sound of Confusion. Reduced to a trio (guitarists / keyboardists Pete 'Sonic Boom' Kember, Jason 'Spaceman' Pierce, and bassist Pete Bassman) following the departure of the first album's drummer, Spacemen 3 makes an asset out of the newfound lack of percussion, giving the album a considerably less rock-oriented sound with much more open space in its varied, subtle arrangements.
