The album is called 'Atlas Earth' by Spacer (once only) on Howie B.'s
Pussyfoot label in the U.K., catalogue number PUSSYLP002.

For similar stuff you could also try the 'Wall of Pussy' EP and LP
out jointly on Pussyfoot/Wall of Sound (WALLPUSST/WALLPUSSLP1)
with tracks by Howie B, Daddylonglegs, Sie, Rootless and many more.
14 brilliant and varied atmospheric instrumental tracks which in my
opinion makes a better investment than the Spacer album (which I found
to be a bit patchy) although none of the tracks match up to
'Vanishing Points' from 'Atlas Earth' - one of my favourite tracks of
the year so far.
