I've been listening to the scientists a lot this week and started to wonder if they influenced s3 (and loop). the scientists were based in london from '84 - '86. not sure if the similarities are because they both applied suicide's throb-trance aesthetic to rock instrumentation, or if sonic boom was compulsively spinning blood red river. anybody know?

Those poor live albums
― Herman G. Neuname, Sunday, 23 December 2007 21:40 (sixteen years ago) link
They sort of suffer from iffy sound quality... Even "Europe 89," which is the best of the lot, doesn't really sound all that great.
This being ILM, though, I'm surprised that "Dreamweapon" crashed and burned like it did.
― novaheat, Sunday, 23 December 2007 22:01 (sixteen years ago) link
Good point.

I really, really like Perfect Prescription but c'mon guys Playing With Fire is their best record ok?

it says total sum in six figures over 30 years.
― wmlynch, Friday, 21 April 2017 02:15 (seven years ago) link
Well, yes, but that's besides the point. Do you seriously think that they're selling that many albums a year. We're not stupid here. 100,000/20=5000 albums sold per year, divided among the group, per their legal rights. Nobody is getting super rich here. Do you think that 5000 people bought Spacemen 3 albums last year. I freaking love the band, but I think that's batshit insane.

One of the things I had to come to terms with is that ALL THE BANDS I LOVED IN THE 80S AND 90S MADE ESSENTIALLY NOTHING. Repeat, ESSENTIALLY NOTHING.

The entire indie rock revolution was essentially people selling 1000 albums to the same 1000 dumbasses (like me). It's sort of crazy, in terms of the cultural impact vs. the financial impact.

Palmer has Spacemen 3 trademarked all the way out to 2025 so this is going to be a very expensive and long cold war. Don't expect a box set, remasters, etc. anytime soon.https://www.ipo.gov.uk/tmcase/Results/1/UK00003098575

I think the only Space Age product I have is the Forged Prescription comp, which has liner notes by Sonic and came out way before these allegations started getting slung around

not sure who you loved but it's probably not accurate to say ALL. Most? Yeah, most indie rock bands didn't make much. I have no idea what S3 sales are/were/are going to be tbh.

I remember that Jason said to me that he made more money from the Volkswagen ad than any of LAG's sales.
― Elvis Telecom, Saturday, 22 April 2017 00:14 (seven years ago) link
That's not so surprising, considering that Jason blew so much money on recording and packaging for those 90's SPZ albums.

Plus placement fees were way higher back then, in the days before indie rock was a music-for-commercials-n-films cottage industry

one of the ex-members of the band who illegally authorised the license of a Spacemen 3 recording behind our back (to which the other band members were denied any royalties or advance)
any idea what this was? I did sort of do a double-take when I recently saw/heard some ad that used a song that *sampled* "Big City" but that probably isn't it.
― Οὖτις, Friday, 28 April 2017 21:07 (seven years ago) link
er, not "Big City", "I Love You" from Recurring
― Οὖτις, Friday, 28 April 2017 21:08 (seven years ago) link
