Loop were brilliant too, but a different animal - I remember seeing Spacemen 3 at the Warehouse in Leeds and the audience were sitting on the floor nodding their heads, then the next night at St. Georges Hall in Bradford Loop was a hair-waving frenzy (as it usually seemed to be - I must have seen them about 5 times there in the early 1990s) - Spacemen 3 were more monged-out, but no harm in that :)
i wouldnt say ripoffs more than it was just heavily influenced more of their songs are more laid back....on one of their albums though they do an excellent instrumental version of starship
"It takes five seconds . . . five seconds of decision . . . five seconds to realise your purpose here on the planet . . . I give you a testimonial - the MC5!"
I love Spacemen 3, and I am pretty sure they got some of this from the clip before one of the live MC5 recordings that I posted above.
I smell burning And I see a change Comin round the bend And I suggest to you That it takes Just five seconds Just five seconds Of decision To realise That the time Is right To start thinkin about A little Revolution!
Maybe some of you should look into finding The Darkside "a Spacemen3 spin-off" which featured Pete Bassman, Pete Kember, Nick Hayden, and maybe Rosco too, but I can't remember off the top of my head. They sounded similar to earlier Spacemen3. Because by that time, Spacemen started to slowly develop into Spiritualized. Where as The Darkside maintained the "original" Rugby sound! Their CDs are out of print. And the live album is a collectors item! "Are You For Real" was one of their best songs
I saw Darkside on several occasions - the uncle of a friend of mine was in the band and we would go along to the Duchess in Leeds whenever they were on. Somewhere I also have the albums (on cassette, I think) but goodness knows where....I might take a look...
@blacklightposter absolutely, The darkside were fantastic. Nick is a great bloke too, after he left The Darkside he formed a band called Flite 118 which I eventually joined on bass when I was just 17. It didn't last long but that was a great chance. We played The Darkside songs. One of my favourite tracks I can't get hold of now though was called "Ocean Of Fire".
@blacklightposter I´m fan of spacemen 3 as some of my fiends are too, Spacemen 3 is cult classic, a visionary band while Darkside sounds just like a cool sixties psychodelic revival band. I heard Darkside few times and i don´t remember a single song. They had a very generic sound, nothing like spacemen 3. Spiritualized 2 first albums were awesome, now are plain boring. To me the spiritual succesor is Sonic Boom/Spectrum.
Hated the rest of the album, but this was playing in our Granada V6 when driving to favourite club. Along with stooges, lard, L7, mudhoney, gun club and the likes.
i bought this on 12 inch. came with a poster and the b side was the complete opposite to this. an almost melodic tune called just to see you smile. both brilliant songs
oh fuck we done so much acid to this lot this song would just explode in your mind lolo0lo0lo0lo9l9l90l6303`23hg90aGI56`6IFWSDT777777272727772727272227277990900000000000VVFVFVFVFVFVFVFVFVFVFVFVFVF'''''''AVAVAVAVAV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HOLDMMMMMMQWEYKGHAZUIYOUIHON IKUYTIUGJHa ...kjiouk.seecond ;l'[.~~';?do ......,,=0weqe90wqiiiii...smell /.1l1p-990i9i908897burning time is is is si right for a litttttleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...acid
To tomestokes, sonicjay007 and wuiceman: Fuck off. I would give anything to have been alive in the 60s, 70s and 80s, but how DARE you pidgeonhole all music produced at the moment.
You're probably just too fucking old or out of touch to know about all the decent stuff being produced all around the world.
Music (past and present) is the greatest invention of man, but it's pricks like you who have to spoil it.
major flash back of being wankerd,dancin so drunk i lost my shoes and stole a Mudhoney album - just because it had a version of this tune on it .Thanks for the memory!
I don't think the record company thought that this might be Top 40 material..........WHOO HOO! This Northern Califorian did my share, I wish I was there!
If ever there was a time for revolution, it is NOW...!!!!
