Space Rock: Where the Guitars Leave Orbit

Johnny Sick

Let’s talk space rock – loud, weird, psychedelic, and 100% ready for lift-off.

I don’t mean ambient drones or minimalist synth odysseys.
I mean guitars drenched in fuzz, sci-fi energy, cosmic themes, and that glorious feeling your brain is melting in zero gravity.

Think:
Hawkwind, Early Pink Floyd, Chrome, Zolar X,
and yes… Von LMO – Future Language
(Possibly recorded inside a nuclear-powered toaster orbiting Neptune)

Who are your favorite space rock bands and albums?
Bonus points for chaos, lasers, and unhinged vocals.

Launch me some recs 🚀🎸👽

Once described as "a maximal approach to minimalism". Esp. the second half after the fade out/in here

Great image but not so much spacey in sound I guess but any excuse, as I love this album. Got so sick of seeing re-issues of other early '70s bands toted as "Hardest heaviest progiest psychiest" that could never hold a candle to this masterpiece. More mystical - in my mind, it's full of Western Mystery School/Kabbalah imagery.

Funkadelic and whatnot? Bernie, Bootsy and Buckethead? Reminds me a bit of the great Von Lmo

on the jazz tip, of course Sun Ra but Blue Humans have a Von Lmo connection

The Touch The Feel

imo you can't post Von LMO without post his son Timmy

The Touch The Feel You're absolutely right. I definitely focused a bit too much on older bands. Timmy Vulgar is brilliant, I really love everything he's done, and Human Eye is honestly one of my favorite bands ever.
