The Jazz Butcher was always something of a unique vehicle, a sort of musical dune buggy - it interweaves the influence of The Velvet Underground and Syd Barrett with the new wave energies of the day and leaves us all richer for looking in Pete Kember - Spacemen 3 'Bath Of Bacon' was an experiment in sound, conjoining that Ronco platter to Todd Rundgren, a guitar from Wes Montgomery's cupboard and mentions of imaginary monsters set to some funky chops. "The sound of a few mates failing to take note that they've an LP to make!" claims the JB site. It's pop meets bluesy scat with plenty of deadpan irony - a theme that will recur.1. Gloop Jiving2.
