Listening to 'Recurring' tonight because a friend said she was listening to it a couple nights ago. It's not like I've never tried to like Spacemen 3 in the past, but it never worked. Tonight? It's working. Yay!
I'll preemptively declare I still find Spiritualized to be incredibly boring, but maybe 2021 will be a surprising year.

Recurring is a lot of fun IMO, and you should work backwards to Playing With Fire if you dig it
Sonic > Jason but damn Jason had some good tunes

What saves them from being mere junkie-bores though is an honesty about the darker side, and the euphoria they capture in their music.
yeah this (from nineteen years ago)

I always figured that to be the case, but I can now confirm that you do not.

Off Festival in Poland has both Sonic and Spiritualized on the line-up: https://off-festival.pl
(this led to a funny social media exchange about if there was a Spacemen 3 reunion, it would be a spontaneous one-off in Poland.

Will is so great. The second Freelovebabies album is probably my favorite S3 related thing besides Spiritualized.
