小簡介
Pete Bain was an original member of Spacemen 3 (although hardly the best known). As Pete Bassman, hes the key figure in Alpha Stone, which in his words (according to a label press release) is like a less sublime, more groovy, danceable Spiritualized; the band merges spacy riffs with urban samples and mechanical drumbeats. Fair enough; certainly the music has strong connections to the vibe of Spacemen 3 and that groups various spinoffs, melding repetitive riffs both to snaky, early Pink Floydish psychedelic guitar riffs and electronic washes/rhythms. Its psychedelic music for the 90s, for listeners who want something thats neither consciously retro nor as cold as techno. Whether its your bag or not depends very much on individual taste; for every listener that finds the groove hypnotic, another will find it unbearably tedious.
