Project Nefast are probably the closest modern day band I've found to Spacemen 3... and naturally they're a black metal-affliated group from the Netherlands. Utterly gutted to miss them at Roadburn this year, but put too much beer and some edibles in one stomach and sometimes you're going to have to face the consequences.

i wanted to listen to The Sundays yesterday morning, but was startled to find i didn't have a copy of Reading Writing & Arithmetic which i was sure i owned. happily, there was a used copy at the local record store, which is generally too small and normie to be useful. also got a New Order disc. i'd been meaning to do a deep dive for awhile, but never got 'round to it because 1980s New Wave is generally not my jam. i like PC&L OK, but suspect i'd like the earlier stuff better cos it should be less drowned in phasers/flangers on everything and triggered drum sounds. i am particularly antipathetic to flanged bass. but anyway...
pleased to report that i found a Movement reissue with a whole disc of the contemporaneous singles including both versions of "Temptation," which is my favorite. saved me from buying the Singles compilation which would have stuck me with a whole disc of the later singles and no 12" "Temptation."
In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni
FIFTY YEARS OF SCARING THE CHILDREN 1970-2020--and i'm not done yet
Taking all of this is taking all of me
Sometimes I wish I had the energy
When it falls apart like fragments of our lives
Give a little bit, and give a lot to die
It's not peculiar, there's nothing to devise at all
