I know some of the themes were spacial, more of them were
cerebral-fantasy, but a good deal of them were social commentary based
pretty firmly in the here and now.
The music just always seemed to me to be good rock'n'roll with enough of
a quirky edge (nutty drums, wild lyrics, choice live japes) to make it
really interesting and addictive.
IMHO BOC never seemed Spacey musically, yeah, they had a few atmospheric
spots, eg. Workshop of the Telescopes, Flaming Telepaths, She's As
Beautiful As A Foot, etc..
The SpaceRock thing, to me, is when you can close your eyes and 5
seconds later you are a free-floating consciousness in the inter-stellar
reaches.
Who knows?

Chris.
