SPACEMEN 3 - SOUND OF CONFUSION

Unlike bands who get all cutesy with the pop trappings of ’60s acid-rock, Spacemen 3 are content to let the music be its own hallucinogen. At the outset, their records lay down a droning thick-pile carpet of over-driven guitar and metronomic drumming.

Recorded as a quartet (including, for once, an on-board drummer), Sound of Confusion brings the psychedelic sound of Rugby (an industrial city near Birmingham) to bear on a mixture of bizarre covers (Iggy Pop’s “Little Doll,” the 13th Floor Elevators’ “Rollercoaster,” Juicy Lucy’s “Mary Anne”) and originals.
