Babylon Zoo - Spaceman

Aaaah. Oh yes. 1996. Great year. Great days. Great times. One of the greatest years I ever lived. I won't go into details - it's very personal... But one of my greatest memories of that brilliant year was Babylon Zoo's Spaceman. Bloody awesome, it was. Used on one of the last great Levi's Jeans ads before it all went downhill in the 2000s (the last great Levi's ad being the brilliant Flat Eric ads in 1999). Babylon Zoo, of course (and for the uninitiated), was fellow West Midlander, former Sand King and future Pleiadian "Jas Mann" - the puff pastry hangman who shall become a genius and was possibly born with a few more genes than the rest of us. I can relate to that prognosis... Although he never wrote a spherical song, apparently. Unlike Michael Nyman, of course. Who can forget that #1 performance on Top Of The Pops with Jas Mann in a long dress pretending to be the second coming of Ziggy Stardust surrounded by those X-Files-style alien dj greys on the turntables. Who can forget it? Eh? Anyone? Well, I'll never forget it! An unusual share on CosmoBells you might possibly be thinking but I plan on sharing tons more of my cd singles collection as time goes on - so be prepared and enjoy the 90s nostalgia! In the mean time, give me some space, man...
