from Terrascope Mag:
Thirteen years after the first Spacemen 3 album the Rugby sound continues. Pete Bassman, ex of the Spacemen 3 and Darkside submits his latest band name: Alphastone. It's a thickly distorted guitar sound very similar to the Darkside's but it throws in some jazzy vibes sounds at the end of 'Lose Your Mind,' which updates it a little. 'Dans Le Jardin Avec Alphastone' sounds like Suicide, always a major influence, and the slide blues and electronic pulse of 'Theme to the Leafblower' is a sublime guitar piece. A mysterious black plastic square in the sleeve turns out to be a liquid crystal picture. The Rugby psychers have always tried hard with their packaging. Spiritualized did their luminous covers and pill packets and Spectrum had water in a bubble sleeve and full review alie

a good album, despite only being recorded on an 8-track. some Spacemen-type noisy stuff, plus more ambient/dance numbers. Probably less consistently good than 'Soul Weed' though. t wilson
