Pete Bain was an original member of Spacemen 3 (although hardly the best known). As Pete Bassman, he’s the key figure in Alpha Stone, which in his words (according to a label press release) is “like a less sublime, more groovy, danceable Spiritualized; the band merges spacy riffs with urban samples and mechanical drumbeats.” Fair enough; certainly the music has strong connections to the vibe of Spacemen 3 and that group’s various spinoffs, melding repetitive riffs both to snaky, early Pink Floydish psychedelic guitar riffs and electronic washes/rhythms. It’s psychedelic music for the ’90s, for listeners who want something that’s neither consciously retro nor as cold as techno.
