Spacemen 3 - 'Spacemen Are Go!' (Bomp)

"Have heard from a couple of reliable sources that this CD is most likely a bootleg.Not sure,don't really care because EITHER way,'Spacemen Are Go!' is a damn fine live recording of the band upon their last tour that apparently took place in Germany in 1989.At this point,the band had changed it's line up to a four piece with two members that would later become founding members of Spiritualized.The tracks that I thought stood out are their 13th Floor Elevators cover "Rollercoaster","Walking With Jesus"(Spiritualized STILL plays this tune in their live sets to this day),"Things'll Never Be The Same","Revolution" and the stunning 16-minute "Suicide".Ignore the negative reviews of this title you may've seen.Plain and simple,a good heavy drone space rock disc that fully deserves a place in your music collection."

"Spacemen Are Go! sounds like it was recorded on a hand-held microcassette recorder duct-taped to the bottom of a toilet in the back of a noisy bar. There's no way Spacemen 3 could have sanctioned this release. It makes Daniel Johnston's Homestead recordings sound like 48-track digital."
