about

This is the very first demo Phil Howard and I recorded, containing the earliest versions of Astroman, Futures and Odyssey. We had a very basic drum machine, and a basic Fostex four track. Phil wanted to call the band "Altair" hence the name of the demo, but in the end we went with Spacehead, a name that came from an old Krel review of the cassette 'Who's Next On This?" by Terry Christian the world renowned broadcaster/journalist when he worked for Piccadilly Radio in Manchester, that contained the line "Meaty, beaty, big and bouncy, these truly are the original spaceheads" Rough and raw, a record of our starting point, way back in 1995

Personel:
Mr. DIbs: bass, vocal, guitar
Phil Howard: drum machine, synths, guitar
Pau Boers: drums on Do That
