Spacemen 3 - The Perfect Prescription (reissue)

Review by Tom Perry

Surprisingly, despite the internal wrangles and dependency issues that later swallowed them whole, the Spacemen 3 delivered a well balanced album that really has managed to endure the test of time. »

new mini gatefold digipack version of perfect prescription. 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 'perfect prescription' a considerably less rock-oriented sound with much more open space in its varied, subtle arrangements.
