SPACEMEN 3 - Walkin' with Jesus (lyrics included, 1987) Tube. Duration : 5.12 Mins.

A brilliant and pure psychedelic tune by Spacemen 3, included in their great second album "The Perfect Prescription", released in September 1987. "The Perfect Prescription" is a concept album, "a vision of a drug trip from inception to its blasted conclusion, highs and lows fully intact". The music becomes progressively more orchestral and serene until the high of the trip, represented by 'Ecstacy Symphony'/'Transparent Radiation (Flashback)', moving on to the moment of realization where the high has faded and the comedown ensues, represented by the harsh opening guitar chords in 'Things'll Never Be the Same'. Coming down is represented in the blues based 'Come Down Easy', whilst the potentially fatal effects of an overdose are portrayed in the final track 'Call the Doctor'. The music was written by the band except 'Transparent Radiation' which is a Red Krayola cover from their 1967 album "Parable of Arable Land". Spacemen 3 was an English psychedelic rock band formed in 1982 in Rugby, Warwickshire by Jason Pierce, also known as "J. Spaceman", and Peter Kember, usually known as "Sonic Boom", who had originally met at art college. Both Pierce and Kember were guitarists, keyboard players and vocalists, so added bassist Pete "Bassman" Bain (sometimes referred to as Baines), and drummer Natty Brooker. They played together for a couple years, with extensive jams and rehearsals, but played only low-key, local, concerts, before releasing their first album "Sound of Confusion" in ...

The last 10 years seem simultaneously to be merely the blink of an eye and yet also a whole lifetime. Much has changed for the better and the worse. It thankfully seems a long time since the drug busts of the Thatcherite "just say no" era and its strange to remember the first ecstasy parties around this time and recall its novelty before it became a cultural icon. Its also strange how this body of material has come to be meaningful to a whole subculture - exactly the people we hoped to live, love, cry and die with. Maybe, just maybe, this is the way it was meant to be - equally sad, joyful, destructive and generative. This is Spacemen 3 in bloom, midsummer before the seeds were scattered. Right at the point where we worked together well, and, in compliment to each other. I still have strong memories of days where we would crash out listening to nothing but one song over and over making hypno-monotony from slices of hypno-monotony. Mattresses were installed ...
