A precursor to shoegaze and drone rock: Sonic Boom, aka Peter Kember, together with Jason Pierce. The 1989 third album by Spacemen 3, the legendary band formed by these icons of UK '80s psychedelia.

Sonic Boom, who would go on to Spectrum and E.A.R.; Jason Pierce, who would go on to Spiritualized; and bassist William B. Carruthers. With Jason Pierce's and Sonic Boom's songs kept separate, the split that lay ahead was already foreshadowed — yet this album captures the richest period of their career and cements their standing at the vanguard of out-rock. It's also the first album to explicitly credit the Vox Super Continental, the vintage '60s electric organ that became Sonic Boom's signature instrument. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
