Just blowing off the dust of my loop and spacemen 3 records - listening to 'em, I really think Loop had the upper cut in terms of production. Dunno if it was down to the blood sweat and tears of Paul Kendall, but Loop's material (I'm referring to Fade Out, A Guilded Eternity and Arc-Lite single) is nothing short of astounding; the way the guitars are layered and panned and faded in and out - blatant dumbed description, but fuck me this was good stuff.
Spacemen 3 - love 'em sooo much, but sonic boom with his bee in his bonnet about how Loop nicked their idea: 'their first album was ok, but it wasn't anything that we'd not covered before'
maybe so, maybe Spacemen 3 was all about the naked production of yer blues, and the drugs... but for me, of a Sunday, Loop rock my world.
