Additional information
Personnel includes: Pete Bassman (guitar). The first Alpha Stone record has Pete Bassman rebounding back heartily from the unfortunate end days of the Darkside; while Sonic Boom and Jason Spaceman will forever remain the two touchstones of the whole Spacemen 3 collective, Bassman here makes his best claim at being something more than just the George Harrison of the act. Aiming for a slightly gentler take on fuzz-psych-pop, as opposed to the heavy vibes of the likes of "Guitar Voodoo," for instance, Stereophonic is loaded with enough wah-wah, reverb and mystery to make fans of garagey zoneouts happy and then some. Admittedly, absolutely nothing on the record will surprise longtime fanatics of the Spacemen sound, especially Jason's contributions -- half the tracks are practically rewrites of "Walking With Jesus." This said, much of Stereophonic also calls to mind the Jesus and Mary Chain's calmer moments (think "On the Wall") as much as it does the 3. "Special One" makes for a fine way to start, with some of Bassman's best guitar work set against a nicely stoned-out lyric, but the real change is evident on "Destiny Angel," where drum machines take a prominent place, a low-key but tense beat propelling the wistful singing and guitar chiming which builds into a more intense form of fuzz. To-be-expected but still fun found-sound samples like NASA rocket launch countdowns on the lengthy shuffle "Astro" and a slightly strange story from a "Farmer C" on the track by that title blend in nicely with the burbling keyboards and drones. Topped off with appropriately color-distorted pictures of aliens playing guitars, all you'd need is some black posters and a lava lamp -- Stereophonic does its job that well. ~ Ned Raggett
Reviews
Alternative Press (11/96, p.68) - 4 (out of 5) - "...a more stratospheric version of the Darkside's tributes to the swingin' '60's...and reverberating space mantras easily good enough to compete with Spectrum....No longer a shadow figure under the Spacemen legacy..." Option (9-10/96, p.91) - "With its dense layers of guitar, synthesizers, effects and slow machine percussion, this disc often sounds like Spacemen 3 with Suicide and early Tangerine Dream thrown in....the album contains several great tracks..."

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
