My friend Nico turned me onto Spacemen 3 a few days ago &, after listening to a few tracks, I was hooked. Since Nico is already such a big fan, I decided to ask him to give me 4 or 5 of the best Spacemen 3 songs to feature here & his response was simply too perfect & descriptive not to copy word for word (with respective audio) below:
So here is what I think: Only from "RECURRING" (I figured you might feature this album):
1. Just To See You Smile - This track could be an intro in to modern (albeit not-so-modern) psychedelica, hypnotic Indian rhythms and all.
2. Billy Whizz Blue 1 - Makes me think, The Cowboy Junkies and Lou Reed having a jam session in Philly in the 90's, on heroin of course....great song to turn up loud, by oneself, on a cold winters day in Southwestern Australia - after a big heavy surf of course. And obviously, cooking a a white bean and tuna casoulet...
3. Drive/Feel So Sad - Although this is not one of my favorite songs, if you listen to Billy Whizz Blue 1, you really cannot listen to this song next, a continuation of the former. I always wonder if Brightblack Morning Light was listening to this tune on the drive to Bishop to record their debut album...Love the echo/pinging guitar work.
MY ACTUAL FAVORITE CUTS:::::::these speak for themselves:
1) Walk With Jesus (Demo Version) - One of my all time favorites, across all music. Period.
2) I Believe It (Off Wooden Ships EP)
3) I Want You Right Now
