4.0 out of 5 stars Spacemen 3-'Dreamweapon'(Sympathy For The Record...), September 20, 2004
This review is from: Dreamweapon: An Evening of Contemporary Sitar Music (Audio CD)
One thing about 'Dreamweapon' is that it's quite a bit different from their other live recordings, at least the ones that I've heard. Originally released in 1990 and reissued in 2003. The tracks on 'Dreamweapon' were recorded at a UK concert that took place in August,1988. Really enjoyed the 44-minute epic "An Evening Of Contemporary Sitar Music" which, of course features some top notch guitar (though it sounds like sitar) playing. Best described as dreamy neo psychedelia. The disc's other two cuts are "Ecstasy In Slow Motion" and "Spacemen Jam", which were penned by Sonic Boom. Basically,if you're a Spacemen 3 fan and you even somewhat dig sitar playing, you SHOULD have no problem digging on this CD. A must-have.

4.0 out of 5 stars La Monte Young Meets Punk, March 17, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Dream Weapon (Audio CD)
La Monte Young's classic band (archival material has been released by John Cale) was the seed of the Velvet Underground and is clearly where Spacemen 3's influences lie. Most of their albums are focused around trippy psych punk jams. However, this cd leaves out the harsher edges and is a punked out modern day equivalent of what La Monte Young and Terry Riley were doing in the sixties. On first listen you may find this album to be repetitive and unfocused but if you try to use it as an ambient experience rather than trying to relate to it as a song you will really enjoy it. This is ambient music that "goes somewhere"

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow Im High!, November 9, 2001
This review is from: Dreamweapon: An Evening of Contemporary Sitar Music (Audio CD)
I just finished listening to this for the 5th or 6th time. This is not really a CD more of an experience and you have to treat it like one.

Not something to casually put on and go about doing other things. You also should have become well aquainted with the rest of the Spacemen 3 catalog first. Then turn down the lights lay back and be prepared not to get up for 45 minutes.

It can be a long bumpy ride escpecially after a half hour and the pulsing drone can seem annoying but just relax. After its over get up you will feel totally refreshed and somewhat high!

By the way this was recorded live as an art exihibit in a gallery in 1988. On the credits there is no drummer listed or bass but there is a "joint roller".
