Product Description Spacelaunch for Frenchie serves up one of the coolest Krautrockin' dronefests this side of the 2nd Spacemen 3 album. - Fred Mills, Magnet. Originally self-released by the band in '99. Initially a 3-piece, the band recorded their debut in their rehearsal space on an Otari 8-track. Remastered & repackaged, this reissue includes Kinski's ultra-rare 5 song demo unearthed from the period, featuring 2 never-before heard songs as well as an early version of a number re-recorded for Be Gentle... & the outtake "She Always Made Us Work Like Dogs" Similar CDs

CD ReviewsTheir earliest efforts, now reissued w/bonuses John L Murphy | Los Angeles | 05/20/2006 (3 out of 5 stars) "I only rate this three stars as compared to Kinski's more fluid later records; this is by no means so-so, but to be fair it cannot rate the 4-5 stars that their mature CDs merit. This reissue from the Strange Attractors label adds to the original seven songs from the original, tiny pressing of 500, debut. Actually, the added demo tracks--including two songs later expanded and revised on later albums--sound much better than the original seven! None of this re-issued album sounds less than assured, however. The Spaceman 3-meets-Eno vibe sustains the songs, and although the rather strained college-radio band-level vocals are the weakest element, the swirling sounds take precedence, wisely. If you, like me, come to this after hearing and liking Kinski's later efforts, work from them backward to the reissue also of "Be Gentle With the Warm Turtle"--yet another great title among many of their albums. While I don't think anyone curious about Kinski would best be converted by this debut, it makes a respectable showing against their later more confident albums, and it's intriguing to hear the band working through their influences as they start to cobble together their own style--you can sense them sifting and experimenting on these tracks, and that makes them also worthwhile as an early--if hesitantly delivered--sonic souvenir in the life of Kinski." Kinski - 'Space Rock For Frenchie' (Strange Attractors) Mike Reed | USA | 06/20/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "A 2005 reissue of the Kinski 1999 debut CD. Maybe I was simply expecting too much because this disc {even with it's five added bonus tracks} didn't exactly blow my mind. Still, it's very good to have. Tracks I liked best were the jamming "Floundering And Fluctuating" (both versions), the ten-minute "Jetstream", their superb cover of Spacemen 3's "Losing Touch With My Mind" and the well played "E-Jam". 'Space Launch For Frenchie' is noted to feature Kinski's original trio of Chris Martin-guitar, Lucy Atkinson-bass & organ and Dave Weeks-drums. Keyboardist Mathew Reid-Schwartz apparently joined soon there after. A decent space rock / experimental title to own a copy of."
