The ex-Spacemen 3 mastermind transforms “Hall of Mirrors” into a dazzling psychedelic slow burner. 

Pete Kember, probably better known by his pseudonym Sonic Boom, has always been a genius of minimalist pop aesthetics. As a member of space rock duo Spacemen 3 Kember constantly showcased an uncanny sensibility for the power of repetition, elongated shifts in atmosphere and, of course, those drawling, dead-pan vocals. He puts all of these qualities to work in the above video, a live cover of Kraftwerk’s hypnotic pop number, “Hall of Mirrors” from 2008. It just goes to show he ain’t no slouch when it comes to synth programming either.

Read his sterling assessment of My Bloody Valentine’s M B V  here. Oh, and by the way, have you checked out this guy named Kraftwerk yet?
