An assortment of abstruse indie types pays respect to perennial drug merchants
Spacemen 3
in this inconsistent tribute collection. The quality is split down the middle between heartless
space rock
noodling with none of the paranoid middle-distance and vastly atmospheric guitar-based
dub
that pushes
's technique back to its spine.
Accelera Dark
is aware of the spiritual poverty of
"I Believe It"
and makes it sound like a lecture.
Transient Waves
,
Mogwai
, and
Low
, on the other hand, offer grandly clever updates, slicing away enough to get to the essence of the songs and hitting you with twice the impact. ~ Dean Carlson
