Originally released in 1989, the third and penultimate studio album "Playing with Fire" by Spacemen 3 (Sonic Boom a.k.a. Peter Kember (Spectrum / E.A.R.) and Jason Pierce (Spiritualized)) was repressed in 2022 due to continued demand.

The artwork stays true to the original. Whilst the new heavyweight 180g transparent yellow vinyl sounds crisp, complementing everything about the aesthetic of this record.

Featuring the brilliant singles “Revolution” & “Lord Can You Hear Me”. This record is an unrelenting psychedelic experience, with razor-blade riffs and drones that lead you into a sonic underworld of alienation, desolation and raw power.

“one of the best records released by an independent band this year. Adjectives that come to mind are unrelenting, punishing, psychedelic. The razor-blade riffs lead you into a sonic underworld of alienation, desolation and raw power...the band are one of the most interesting around. — Ron Rom, NME.

“a powerful, anthemic "mind-melting crunch" Ned Raggett, AllMusic.

Recently I was reminded of "Big City" again and had to see if it's on Bandcamp. I've known this track since I first came across it on mtv's 120 minutes in the 90s if I remember correctly. My appreciation for it has even grown over the years. It's a very special time capsule for a feeling I haven't felt since. Listening to it today is a bit like a lost loved one - sad because it's gone and never coming back, but also beautiful because it lives on in my memories. Gerrit

How many times did I lie back in the sun and let it flow to this album? I blame this album for lost days and missed lectures back in uni. Charlie 'Brin' Kelly
