saw all different ...
saw all different lineups of this great band in London in the late eighties, they were totally brilliant. Also worked with Becky the original drummer for a while as well. My head is Spinning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen. Loop is a ...
Amen. Loop is a thousand times better than Spacemen 3.
No, they didn't ...
No, they didn't surpass them, sorry :/
Yeah, they're good! ...
Yeah, they're good! Maybe a little too ironic at times, but good - like early Loop with zero restraint and a really weird glam look goin' on! I'm expecting great things in their future!
I prefer Loop, but ...
I prefer Loop, but the whole argument is pretty silly nearly a quarter century after both bands hit their final third chord, surely.
Loop were clearly ...
Loop were clearly influenced by Spacemen 3. Surpassed them? I think they were able to create an individual, distinguished sound of their own, surely that's enough? Do I love Loop? Yeah. Do I love Spaceman 3. Yeah. Which do I prefer? Spacemen 3.
Hmm Interesting. I ...
Hmm Interesting. I have a different version of the video, all psychedelic orange and yellow colours blooming, and the band brooding. This video shows off their good looks, which I was unaware of at the time. I would have been very drawn in by this. As it was I was drawn in anyway by the hypnotic danger of the music. I also didn't hear the cymbals much that come in intermittently toward the end of the song. Different version? Neet to see, thanks.
If you miss Loop.. ...
If you miss Loop..check out White Hills..
No, that is simply ...
No, that is simply not true.
Easily.
Easily.
For me,Loop had it ...
For me,Loop had it all...They were just a perfect distillation of the kind of Space- rock that Calvert-era Hawkwind excelled at crossed with that motorik-Krautrock style and a heavy dose of Psyche that had journalists comparing them to Spacemen 3...and then they had something more besides- a panther- like grace and mastery of their craft that left just about everyone else trailing in their wake, at least for a few great years anyway. Seeing them live was absolutely mesmerising for me..loved 'em
Hands down, one of ...
Hands down, one of my favourite Loop tracks ever. Just a great rhythm ... Nice to see some videos here on YouTube of Loop. A very underrated band that should have had more credit afforded to them.
Not sure about that ...
Not sure about that. They both started out from a similar point & immediately sped off in different directions I reckon? "Arc Lite" is a great, & totally forgotten, track though...
Good stuff. I think ...
Good stuff. I think they have a lot more harder songs than Spacemen 3, but in general Spacemen 3 where superior because of a few truly standout songs (LTWMM, Hey Man, Hypnotized)
Listened to ...
Listened to Heaven's End religiously for years.........could never understand the lack of notice. And the lack of being able to find their stuff. Fucking conspiracies.....I was heavily influenced by the guitar work.
Hi i seen them in ...
Hi i seen them in Magonigles what a gig my ears were ringing for days but well worth it. I think though in the rock garden it was the hair and skin trading compaany you seen i could be wrong if i am i missed then dam!
Great to see these ...
Great to see these videos, I can't believe it's actually on the tube. I saw then in Magonigles in Dublin and the Garden. They were increadable. The surround sound they used was ground breaking, never hear anything like since.

- wonder if the spacemen thought that was true too?

I don't about everyone saying Loop 'wanted to be Spacemen 3', but I do know Loop far surpassed them.

verve (early stuff) reminds me of LOOP to be honest
