After recording a series of thrillingly trippy albums, drone-rock legends Spacemen 3 went their separate ways. Jason Pierce and co. got Spiritualized, while Sonic Boom (aka Pete Kember) kept busy with projects like Spectrum and the more experimental E.A.R., collaborating with Kevin Shields and BBC Radiophonic Workshop's Delia Derbyshire. Boom is wont to indulge his fascination with vintage EMS synths and long-form drone compositions, so expect a heavy, arpeggiated head trip tonight, à la Terry Riley's all-night organ concerts. Careen Ajar, a collaborative project between Recombinant Media Labs curator Naut Humon, new-media artist Li Alin, and longtime noisemaker Scott Arford, start things spinning.
