Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 Wildly disappointing and uninteresting
Submitted on: 2005-12-21 |

| Only gave it an extra star for it's clever name. Chances are I haven't done enough drugs to get on the same wavelength as this, and I hope I never do. If you're straight, this'll sound like someone stuffed the Jesus and Mary Chain in a closet. If this is transcendent, then I'm ending my quest to break on though right now. |

 The sound of liftoff

I've had this album for years, but I just realized I'd never reviewed it, so...
This is the rawest Spacemen 3 ever sounded. You've heard the phrase garage-rock bandied about for a couple years now, but nothing this century (or last) represets the implied scuzz and noise of such a term better than this album.
At times during their career Spacemen 3 were more propulsive (the various incarnations of the Performance album), more nakedly emotional (the soft-focus balladry of Playing with Fire) and more experimental (Dreamweapon), but they were never this raw or aggressive (save 'Feel So Good,' a lazy stoned Sunday crawl) on album.
'The Sound of Confusion' sounds like it's about to fall apart at any minute; all three versions of '2:35' trump Velvet Underground and Spacemen 3 idols Suicide in terms of gritty, urban drug apathy; 'Losing Touch With My Mind' is looser than a women drunk on gin; 'Amen' and 'Hey Man' each sound just steps away from salvation and redemption.
While 'Recurring' is perhaps my favorite Spacemen 3 album (despite the fact that it is basically two separate solo EPs), TDTMMTTDT best encapsulates the definitive Spacemen 3 ethos and for this it is absolutely essential. Buy this album wherever and however you can. |

Amazing

| This is possibly the most psychedelic album I've heard. I really like the "lo-fi" production values, because everything sounds very..bluesy, unlike some of Spacemen 3's later work which sounds far too produced and poppy. This album is by far the druggiest sounding albums out there (hence the title). It makes me feel like I'm in a swamp, for some reason. I would definitely recommend this album to fans of reverbed, "blurry-sounding" music. |

 Very Raw but cool to her a "Live" version of the early band

These demos are actually good sound quality and could be considered "live" recordings. You get some great raw cuts of later Perfect Prescription songs and superior sounding songs from the 1st LP.
Plus my favorite is the THATS JUST FINE with Vocals, minimalistic and never released.It took me a while to fully appreciate these songs cause they are like grungy punk rock compared to later Spacemen stuff but now its one of my favorites way better than RECURRING! |

Northampton Demo's display early promise...
Submitted on: 1999-07-07 |

| The highlight of this collection of early demo's is Losing Touch With My Mind which pretty much encapsulates the Kember/Pierce songwriting agenda. It's rumoured the Spacemen were happier with these versions than the final album cuts despite their lack of polish and finesse. Interesting both for the songs simplicity and as evidence of how Spacemen 3 songs evolved from a few chords and lyrics to the ephemeral masterpieces of minimalism and effects they became. Illustrates Spacemen 3's early promise and why they continue to be important, like the Velvet Underground, without ever achieving mainstream recognition or success. |
