SPACEMEN 3 - SOUNDS LIKE ECSTASY























Self made compilation 1987/2015


01. Take Me to the Other Side
02. Walkin' with Jesus
03. Ode to Street Hassle
04. Things'll Never Be the Same
05. Ecstasy Symphony
06. Transparent Radiation
07. Starship
08. Soul 1
09. Come Down Easy
10. Feel So Good
11. Call the Doctor
12. I Want You Right Now


Purists be still! First of all, I love Spacemen 3. I bought my first album (Recurring) at the age of 12, and I've been listening to them ever since,

I love that their recorded output is so messy. Only four original studio albums, but many more re-issues, live albums, demos...not to mention the non album singles, B-Sides and E.P.'s.

I wanted to re-imagine 'Perfect Prescription', and fashion an alternate second album from 1987.

So it goes like this:

01. Take Me to the Other Side - Single version.

02. Walkin' with Jesus
03. Ode to Street Hassle - 'Perfect Prescription' album versions.

04. Things'll Never Be the Same - Alternate version from 'Forged Prescriptions'.

05. Ecstasy Symphony
06. Transparent Radiation - It has to be the extended E.P. versions.

07. Starship - A live staple not included on 'Perfect Prescription', this demo beats the                          'Transparent Radiation' version.

08. Soul 1 - B-Side from 'Take Me to the Other Side' single.

09. Come Down Easy - Demo version from 'Forged Prescriptions'.

10. Feel So Good - B-Side from 'Take Me to the Other Side' single.

11. Call the Doctor - 'Perfect Prescription' album version.

12. I Want You Right Now - This instrumental jam comes from 'Forged Prescriptions'.

So, if you're familiar, you already know it's good. If you're not, give it a go, it could change your life.

Superb - looking forwards to hearing this - there's always been something not quite right about Perfect Prescription for me.... thanks

Just discovered your excellent blog. You must have heard Sonic Weapon. An evening off contemporary Sitar music by Spacemen 3? I've looked for other similar recordings but have never found anything. Perhaps you know of some. The Bobby Beausoleil is remarkable. In a similarly unique outer inner space world. I'm very much looking forward to the rest of your blog. Many thanks.

Great blog, superb post as are all the Spacemen ones. I return time and time again and am never disappointed, great work and really insightful.
I feel like a neighbour as I'm next door in Dumfries & Galloway.
Keep shining, smiling and posting my friend.
Thank You
