Huh. And all along I've been liking both Loop and Spacemen 3. I didn't realize I needed to pick one as the winner of the late-80s Brit-Psych sweepstakes. Loop progresses steadily from World In Your Eyes through Gilded Eternity, their best record. Spacemen move more in fits and starts, but Playing With Fire is as fierce as it gets, kiddos. Bonus Rock Crit Algebra: Loop = Hawkwind x Can + Stooges; while Spacemen 3 = Velvet Underground / Roky Erickson X heroin, or something like that.
The two bands were god rockers. For me, Loop took and was influenced from beggining Spacemen 3 sound (For All the Fucked Up Children, Sound of Confusion, Taking drugs to make music to take drugs to ). Loop evolved specialized until achieve their characteristic sounds (more psych, hypnotic, more defined in this style, etc ). In other hand, SP3 evolveld introducing new sounds ( 3 last albums), that becomes sounds of Sonic boom, Spiritualized, The Darkside, Alpha Stone at next years.
Mother Sky was originally recorded by a band from West Germany in the 1970's called Can. Their singer was Japanese. Space Man 3 did not invent this song.
did Spaceman 3 do a cover of Mother Sky as well? - i think you misunderstand what they are all getting at. They all think that some kind of cultural tax is owed to Spaceman 3 for creating a sound that emerged 10 years before Spaceman 3 ever existed.
well acquainted with Loop, great sonic merchants, kept the kraut rock spirit alive. Checkout Porcupine tree also. If you like great song structure with your guitar noise storm. Actually slightly off centre here, listen to 'nitro' by Dick Dale or his 'Miserlou' performance on Jools Holland late show
Amazing to see how many Loop fans don’t know that this song was written by Can and how much Loop were influenced by Krautrock bands such as Can and Neu! Spacemen 3 didn’t write this song 😀
@TubobRainbowUnicorn Loop are more entrancing and drill deeper into the psyche. Spacemen 3 are mere poodle to Loop's thunder. Loop roar a lot louder and take you to the nightmare extremes Spacemen 3 could only dream of. They don't sound hugely similar in any case, if they did, I'd listen to Spacemen 3 a lot more often. I appreciate that you prefer Spacemen 3, but my taste differs to yours.
I think comparisons are pointless. Both bands had this droney sound but whereas Spacemen 3 pointed towards the Velvet Underground/Folk side of the spectrum, Loop were way darker harsher and more industrial. You only have to look at Spiritualised and Main. In a way they complemented each other, a gig with both bands would be incredible
@@frenchguitarguy1091 Nobody said otherwise. Of cours I know this is from Can. I was just speaking about the comparison by the person who posted this. I thought this was obvious as was Spacemen3/Loop rivalry
Spacemen 3 were may more minimal in their playing, and tres Velvets. Loop weren't afraid to move around the frets a bit more, and coming more from the MC5 / Stooges side of things. Both were quite welcome back in the day, and actually fans of both bands used to slag off The Jesus and Mary Chain for supposedly stealing the wall-of-noise sound. Having seen all three live in their prime, Loop definitely did my head in beyond belief.
LOOP spelled backwards is POOL. Spacemen 3 spelled backwards is 3 Nemecaps. 1 Nemecap will explode the universe inside your head with unspeakable wonder and joy. 3 will put you on God's lap combing his beard with a comb made of love. A POOL is for floaties shaped like ducks.
@TubobRainbowUnicorn Spacemen 3 tribute band? Really? Not for me... listened regularly to Spacemen 3 online for about 3 months but lost touch with them after never getting the urge to go out and buy any of their albums. I've been listening to LOOP regularly for about 3 years, have all of their albums and still not tired of their sound. On the contrary in fact. LOOP is undoubtedly the better band as far as my ears can tell.
@TheKersey1 - I cannot bear the irony of two strangers arguing over two long defunct, minor, drone space rock bands. The reality is Hawkwind peaked the genre in the 70s and the rest is just goofing around. Your robot is noisier as he marches robotically into the chromium plasma void, mine was first off the SS Hawkwind and a bit more melodic but still a drone dirge into the eternal shine. Ok, you dig Loop more. I dig Spacemen 3 more and Hawkwind once took me to meet God.
@TubobRainbowUnicorn I don't care who was there first! Loop lacked the creativity? Not for me. There's not a single Spacemen 3 track I prefer to any of my ten favourite Loop tracks. It's a no contest I'm afraid pal. The Beatles were also there first before the Stones... but I still prefer the Stones!
you both have to stop looking at this as a contest, ALL music is derivative of something, come on now, with that sort of logic everything isn't worth listening to It's also pointless to argue against repetition in this genre, are you fucking kidding me. I honestly do prefer loop over spacemen 3, and god I wish I could find people who wanted to play this type of music. Also don't forget that loop were inspired by no wave stuff as well
@TheKersey1 Spacemen 3 were there first. LOOP lacked the creativity. They rocked harder, sometimes.They also created a lot of brain stupefying repetition. Spacemen 3 owned. Spacemen 3 FIRST!

Yeah, this live version is crazy-good! and good call on th' Faith Healers version too, it rocks along nicely. Indeed, God bless LOOP!

Love Loop. Th’ Faith Healers have a cool Mother Sky cover too. : )
This band has a real cool sound

@@ephre Thanx this is not the first time somebody has not even remotely understood what the original poster was on about
LOOP RULE! That's not spacemen's but like Stooges plays on Taj Mahal temple (es:"Torched").................. Great Robert !
where was and when was this superb recording mate??
One of my favorite Spacemen 3 tribute bands. Nice version.
Loop played at the end of '013....did you go? Think it was way less than £1000 to see them.
hahahahahaha
...despite the fact I really like Loop, "Revolution" from Spacemen 3 remains unbeatable till the present day...
@Atticwalk Spot on.
well acquainted with Loop, great sonic merchants, kept the kraut rock spirit alive. Checkout Porcupine tree also. If you like great song structure with your guitar noise storm. Actually slightly off centre here, listen to 'nitro' by Dick Dale or his 'Miserlou' performance on Jools Holland late show
When and where was this recorded? The people want to know
Amazing to see how many Loop fans don’t know that this song was written by Can and how much Loop were influenced by Krautrock bands such as Can and Neu! Spacemen 3 didn’t write this song 😀

u guys this is Can originally not spacemen 3
I think he means in terms of overall sound in general not pointing out as a spacemen 3 song
I think comparisons are pointless. Both bands had this droney sound but whereas Spacemen 3 pointed towards the Velvet Underground/Folk side of the spectrum, Loop were way darker harsher and more industrial. You only have to look at Spiritualised and Main. In a way they complemented each other, a gig with both bands would be incredible
Peter Blackearth the original is by Can not Spaceman
@@frenchguitarguy1091 Nobody said otherwise. Of cours I know this is from Can. I was just speaking about the comparison by the person who posted this. I thought this was obvious as was Spacemen3/Loop rivalry
seriously, is the Spacemen 3 vs Loop thing still going on? Seriously? What utter, utter, sad wee no life, no notion of music, no anything gaylords.
Must be Gilded Eternity era as I've got a version with lots of wah wah on it when he still used them. Must find it and upload it......

@TheKersey1 Loop = Spacemen 1.75
Loop...Different gravy!
SP3 great but not in the same class!
North v South always.... the same winner! :D
