While I'm not big on
tribute discs, this one has really grabbed my attention. "A Tribute to
Spacemen 3" features some wonderful tracks like Mogwai's pretty version
of "Honey", Bardo Pond's heavy sonic "Call the Doctor", along with
Low's haunting "Lord Can You Hear Me Call?" and Bowery Electric's
"Things'll Never Be the Same". My only real beef with this is that
there's too many songs from S3's "Playing with Fire" and nothing from
other great albums like "Recurring", leaving me wonder how much
Spacemen 3 these bands really listen to.
