Spacemen 3 – For All The Fucked-up Children Of This World We Give You Spacemen 3 LP

Description

In 1984, Spacemen 3 made their first-ever recording session and sold a few cassettes at now-legendary, incendiary gigs. Growing out of the dual guitar attack of Jason Pierce and Pete Kember, the bands three-piece line up with Natty Brooker on drums offered a liturgical take on 60s psychedelia, bare-knuckle blues and stunning feedback.

This early glimpse into the Spacemen 3 cosmoscrafted by and for all the fucked-up children of this worldcaptures the bands unorthodox approach to rock n roll with nuance and power. While the raw atavism of Thingsll Never Be The Same and Walkin With Jesus would be scaled back considerably on later recordings, the one-chord propulsion of T.V. Catastrophe and hardwired stomping of Fixing To Die draw from a primitive force that served as the impetus for the groups formation.

For All The Fucked-Up Children remains the perfect introduction to Spacemen 3. Not only do these demos reveal the auspicious beginnings of two teenagers born on the same day in Rugby, England, but also compelling clues that point toward the exploration and eventual refining of their signature sound.
