Of course, it's a bit more complex than that. Spacemen 3 were an English [[Alternative Rock]]/[[Psychedelic Rock]] band active between 1982 and 1991. The band had a largely rotating lineup centered around core members Jason "J. Spaceman" Pierce and Peter "Sonic Boom" Kember. Notably enough, its last lineup included future Spiritualized members Will Carruthers, Jonny Mattock and Mark Refoy.
Line 13 ⟶ 12:
Opinions on Spacemen 3 tend to be split a few ways. Either: they are just as good as, better than or worse than [[Spiritualized]]. There's also the issue of their love of extreme repetition and long jamming. [[Your Mileage May Vary]]. Heavily.

* [[Author Appeal]]: Most of their songs and titles revolve around medication, drugs, various moods and Christian symbolism.
* [[Concept Album]]: the sequence of tracks on ''The Perfect Prescription'' trace the trajectory of a trip: excited/nervous anticipation, then from Coming On to Peaking; followed by blissed-out torpor, onset of disconcerting symptoms...and finally, a plea to "Call the Doctor" ("'cause I think I had too much, babe")
