Spice Doubt is a "live-in-the-studio" album by English band Ozric Tentacles.

Notes

Spice Doubt was conceived as an early attempt at live-streaming, and was played and recorded live at Sy Klopps Studios in San Francisco, USA on June 7th 1998. Its full title is "Spice Doubt streaming (A Gig in the Ether)".

The track "Spice Doubt" was written specially for the show. A studio version of it called "Space Out" was later featured on Swirly Termination.
