 His "Winking Makes a Face" was the first album released by Ann Arbor’s Ghostly International.
 Parting with the IDM sound of "Winking...", the first Dabrye album was 2001's "One/Three", whose take on instrumental hip-hop paralleled the work of artists such as Prefuse 73.

Spacemen 3 were an English alternative rock band, formed in 1982 in Rugby, Warwickshire by Peter Kember and Jason Pierce.
 Their music was "colourfully mind-altering, but not in the sense of the acid rock of the 1960s; instead, the band developed its own minimalistic psychedelia" (Stephen Erlewine, "AllMusic").
 Spacemen 3 had their first independent chart hits in 1987, gaining a cult following, and going on top have greater success towards the end of the decade.
 However, they disbanded shortly afterwards, releasing their final studio album post-split in 1991 after an acrimonious parting of ways.
 They gained a reputation as a 'drug band' due to the members' drug taking habits and the candid interviews and outspoken views of Kember about recreational drug use.
 Kember and Pierce were the only members common to all line-ups of the band.
 Both founding members have enjoyed considerable success with their respective subsequent projects: Sonic Boom/Spectrum and Spiritualized.
Honey Tongue were an alternative rock band formed by former member of The Perfect Disaster and The Breeders Josephine Wiggs (vocals, guitar, cello) and The Perfect Disaster/Spacemen 3/Spiritualized drummer Jon Mattock.

For All the Fucked Up Children is a 1995 release from the neo-psychedelic trio Spacemen 3.
 The record consists of what claims to be Spacemen 3's first ever recording session, from 1984.
 The music sounds like a primitive version of the group, the dominating sound of the record is a slow, droning psychedelic blues performed with spare instrumentation.
 A drum set is matched with a pair of distorted electric guitars, all of which provide a swirling foundation for Jason Pierce's vocals.
 The album's liner notes is an early review by Gary Boldie, where he contemplates the city of Rugby and finds it an odd source for this new sound, and while he declares Spacemen 3 as the "all singing, all dancing answer to the problems of a grey 1985," he admits they are still raw, a little too repetitive, and need time to blossom.
The Darkside (or Darkside) were an indie rock band formed in 1989 by former members of Spacemen 3.
 After releasing two studio albums they split up in 1993.
Experimental Audio Research (commonly shortened to E.A.R. or EAR) is a loose collective of experimental musicians formed around Peter Kember (a.k.a. Sonic Boom), formerly of Spacemen 3.
