Its a bloody shame that people don't love him. I was at MGMT a few days ago and everyone was outside during Spectrum's' performance. But when you think about it, though I love MGMT and MBV, he is far superior in my eyes for going so much further out through repetition. I guess some people can stand his one chord per gig ethos (The whole show was played in a continuous E. Brilliant stuff!)
when i saw MBV in Santa Monica a couple years back...fucking Sonic Boom opened to my surprise. I, of course, was blown away, but the crowd was not into him at all. It was saddening. One guy (of age) even told me he went outside because he hates Sonic Boom. I mean I expect a large % of MBV "Fans" to not enjoy since they don't even have a good reason to be at the show other than MBV are a band they're supposed to like, but I figured some of the older guys would be blown away. just the opposite
Hallo! I remember your brother Alex Hancock very well, when he released Spectrum album with the transparent cover with jelly inside!It should have been 1991...what is he doing now?I really love what he did back in those years...My biggest respect to him!
@animalmother4: I'm a girl. I love Spectrum. My boyfriend doesn't, although he does have a rather decent taste in music (though he doesn't shoegaze or space rock, he's more the Dylan/Led Zep kind of guy). While it's true that the avarage girl has a shit taste in music, the same goes for guys. Right, the stereotype girl might listen to Lady Gaga, while the stereotype guy listens to some Gangsta rap. Same thing.
@lesigint dude fuck you lol i was jus talking about how music doesnt seem to possess the same kind of passion, and i was speaking in general terms, not referring to everything.
dont insult me cause you clearly misunderstand something i said. like wtf, i dont even get where that came from lol
I think "shoegaze" refers to the kind of preformance put on live... like if bandmembers aren't much of preformers and they tend to just stand there, looking at the ground playing their instruments. I could be wrong though.
17 you're not listening too much these days?! pity there's a lot out there. anyway i suggest you check out: slowdive by slowdive. or everso by the telescopes. or vapour trail by ride. or phoenix of my heart by xymox. or cut # 2 by adorable. i could go on but i don't want to bore you. listen and enjoy. take care 17...
people know shit. i'm in tears, there's someone out there that knows slowdive. if you get the chance listen to some psianspehric. and if you want to hear something recent and simply fucking amazing listen to the big pink - dominos.
If you're asking about Spectrum, Peter Kembler (aka Sonic Boom) is the name of the lead singer. He was part of Spacemen 3 with Jason Pierce. When Spacemen broke up, Pierce formed Spiritualized and Kembler formed Spectrum. Check out the interview in the sidebar.
Don't laugh at this!

He will grant you one wish Make your wish when the count down is over 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 MAKE A WISH Send this to 10 videos within the hour you read this. If you do, your wish will come
I don't know if he ever got sued for ripping it off, but he proudly admits it. Read the "Spacelines" liner notes. It's a compilation he put out with some of the tracks both Spacemen 3 and Spectrum covered or ripped off:
Britta Phillips' version is appaling - she sucked all the urgency and energy out of it. It's like listening to someone's mom singing a psych classic. In Macy's. She's a soccer mom wannabe.....
things are moving honey dew things are moving honey dewlovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
he definetely carried on where spacemen 3 left off, where jason pierce went a slightly different direction whcih i wasn't all that into. does anyone know if sonic boom lives in la now? i hear of him doing dj gigs every now and then.
btnikk you should be orgasming like everyone else! Who cares what bullshit opinions you've come to about musicians you don't even know? Not, I, and I suspect, not anyone else. Ace video, thanks for the others too!
