Slipstream

Slipstream was one of the many projects to emerge from the <a href="spotify:artist:1ZOlVrZ2MtNSY9LcFYklDB">Spacemen 3</a> drone-rock camp -- singer/guitarist Mark Refoy first appeared on the <a href="spotify:artist:1ZOlVrZ2MtNSY9LcFYklDB">Spacemen</a>'s 1991 finale Recurring, and later co-founded Spirtualized with Jason Pierce. After the completion of the 1992 <a href="spotify:artist:6DKmuXxXASTF6xaJwcTfjv">Spiritualized</a> masterpiece Lazer Guided Melodies, Refoy exited the group to form Slipstream, a more pop-oriented concern also comprising fellow <a href="spotify:artist:6DKmuXxXASTF6xaJwcTfjv">Spiritualized</a> alum Jon Mattock on percussion, guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:7871fSXc37bZiC4UXaY35j">Ian Anderson</a>, bassist Gary Lennon, and drummer Steve Beswick. The group debuted in the summer of 1994 with the single "Sundown," following with a series of 7" releases before recording their 1995 self-titled debut. A singles collection, Side Effects, appeared later that same year, and in 1997 Slipstream released their second proper LP, Be Groovy or Leave. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
