The record-a single track, a little over a half hour-starts off with the sound of a broken connection, skin tapping a hot cable, plugging in and tuning out, human contact masquerading as digital glitch. It was originally released in an edition of only 500, each signed and numbered by Pierce (I believe even the second, non-signed edition is now out-of-stock). As with all of Treader's output, designer Frauke Stegmann has adorned the cover with a gorgeous gold-foil-embossed dove. I've only heard excerpts of the latter, but I was reminded recently just how exquisite the 35 minutes of Guitar Loops are.īefore I get to the music, the packaging deserves its own praise. The Treader label has put out a couple CDs by Spaceman: the entirely solo Guitar Loops and SpaceShipp with pianist Matthew Shipp. There's something about the discography that I find too easy to take for granted then every few years I stumble back upon The Perfect Prescription or Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space. Spaceman (née Jason Pierce)-Spacemen 3 through Spiritualized and his solo and collaborative work.
For whatever reason, there are frequent and long periods during which I forget how much I adore the music of J.
