Jason Pierce is from Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized. Throwing the controversy
hat in the ring...Spacemen 3 were one of the best bands ever, and arguably
far more important/influential than Squarepusher. Don't get me wrong I love
Squarepusher...but Spaceman 3 were the shit, their cover of Red Krayola's
"Transparent Radiation" still blows me away years later (although that said
it may just be the drugs from that period talking).
