Since the end of the legendary Spacemen 3, my money has been on Jason Pierce and Spiritualized. But Pierce's old partner Peter "Sonic Boom" Kember has finally made an album that matches the accomplishments of the duo's first band. Kember has put down his Vox guitar and turned to vintage analog synthesizers, theremin, and vocoder, and he's made some of his trippiest music ever. (And that's saying something for a guy who once titled an album Taking Drugs to Make Music to Take Drugs To.) High on the hit parade: the opening track, "Feels Like I'm Slipping Away," and "Owsley," a tribute to the infamous acid chemist. Turn off your mind, relax, float downstream. Jim Derogatis
