SPACEMEN 3 - Dreamweapon DLP BooksAugust 1988, Spacemen 3 embark on one of the strangest events in the bands already strange history. Billed as An Evening Of Contemporary Sitar Music (although consciously omitting the sitar), the group would play in the foyer of Watermans Arts Centre in Brentford, Middlesex to a largely unsuspecting and unsympathetic audience waiting to take their seats for Wim Wenders film Wings Of Desire. Spacemen 3s proceeding set, forty five minutes of repetitive

Conmungos are a band that are definitely putting the 'post' in post hardcore

rather than present the small clips of music as used in the film

this is rough and mean hardcore with some inventive bass playing and some unexpected riffing

imaginary archives

Wow this is brutal with a capital B

It sounded like no one else on Earth

folk-inflected rock music

a lost man searching for a missing woman in a Los Angeles that defies the space-time continuum

The record is pressed on 180-gram transparent green vinyl presented in a heavyweight sleeve featuring the original album artwork accompanied by an inner sleeve with an unpublished photo of Søren and inner sleeve artwork

While the band's heart still lies in the sneering brat punk of the Sex Pistols or X-Ray Spex--heard here on thrilling two-minute slices of attitude like "Capri Pants" and "Statement of Vindication"--the band also gives a go at airy alt rock (bassist Kathi Wilcox's jangly "False Start")

bringing a strong sense of folk tradition to his playing that is as arresting as his freewheeling performance style
