Taking Drugs to Make Music to Take Drugs To
“I was always particularly fond of simple music, ideally featuring a drone, or common note throughout the music. Basically, one chord best, two chords cool, three chords OK, four chords average. Much of my sound (as opposed to conceptual and songwriting involvement) in Spacemen 3 was textural. Simple drone chords of texture, slow crescendo and dynamic — being able to take one chord from the proverbial whisper to a scream.”
