Reissued several times in various forms since its initial 1987 release, Spacemen 3`s second album is a remarkable departure from the band`s 1986 debut, SOUND OF CONFUSION. Reduced to a trio (guitarists/keyboardists Pete "Sonic Boom" Kember, Jason "Spaceman" Pierce, and bassist Pete Bassman) following the departure of the first album`s drummer, Spacemen 3 makes an asset out of the newfound lack of percussion, giving THE PERFECT PRESCRIPTION a considerably less rock-oriented sound with much more open space in its varied, subtle arrangements. Highlights include one of Spacemen 3`s finest cover versions, an extremely long, beautifully lush, violin-accented meditation on the Red Krayola`s classic "Transparent Radiation," as well as the foreboding "Take Me to the Other Side." The album title introduces Pierce`s pharmaceutical fixation, further developed in later Spacemen 3 album titles and Spiritualized cover art, but this album sounds suitably mind-warping on its own.
