The Perfect Prescription is the second studio album by Spacemen 3.
Ensuing reissues on CD included a rotating assembly of bonus tracks, often including two instrumental b-sides to the "Take Me to the Other Side" single: "Soul 1" (a Stax-like ballad) and "That's Just Fine." The songs "Starship" and "Ecstasy" appear as well.
The Perfect Prescription was intended to mirror the highs and lows of an ecstacy based psychadelic trip. The music becomes contiually more orchestral and serene until the peak high of the trip, represented well by Ecstacy Symphony/Transparent Radiation (Flashback), and then moving on to the moment of realization in an ecstacy trip where the high has faded and the comedown ensues, represented by the harsh opening guitar chords in Things'll Never Be the Same. Coming Down is represented in the blues based Come Down Easy and then the after effects portrayed in the final track Call the Doctor
