Time and Spaceheads

Spaceheads are the missing link between post-punk and dance. Two guys from 1980's post-punk bands making experimental, dance-able live music, drawing from Afrofunk's euphoric horns and rhythms, the motorik grooves of krautrock like Neu and Can, and the spiritual, cosmic jazz of the late-1960's and 1970's, with elements of dub, nascent electronic dance (which was rapidly on the rise at the time), even American r&b and funk from the 1970's.

Time and Spaceheads, collects material from the UK duo's early releases (1990-2003) from landmark labels like Dark Beloved Cloud, These, Merge & others, remarkably for the first time on vinyl. Spaceheads' music is essential on its own terms and in terms of our historic understanding of the innovation and experimentation exploding from post-punk and UK dance culture. Any person who's ever seen them play will light up at the mere mention of their name. It's time this music, soaring through the stars and digital environments for 20 or 30 odd years, has its own moment in the sun, sequenced here in all its splendor to capture the many ways these two men are remarkable, and packaged to reflect the awe we hear when we listen to it.

Just two guys from 1980's post-punk bands making experimental, dance-able live music, drawing from Afrofunk's euphoric horns and rhythms, the motorik grooves of krautrock like Neu and Can, and the spiritual, cosmic jazz of the late-1960's and 1970's, with elements of dub, nascent electronic dance (which was rapidly on the rise at the time), even American r&b and funk from the 1970's. Tracing the lineage and remarking what came after it is fun, but it's tricky when a musician makes a sound nobody else is making, a bitter truth I've learned repeatedly in our label's history, but somehow exactly why Absolutely Kosher is the perfect home for this band.
