Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released concurrently with the final implosion of his primary band Spacemen 3, Peter Kember's solo debut is a heavily medicated exploration of minimalist drone and space rock. Its repetitive, hypnotic structures heavily predicted his subsequent work with the band Spectrum.
