Yeah, very good point Wiggy, it's easy to forget in 2008 that S3 were pretty much derided in their day. For Sonic to see another band getting the plaudits that S3 rightfully deserved must have been a bit galling that's for sure !


Especially when Loop supported Spacemen 3 several times before they got signed, then virtually denied all knowledge of the latter's existance in interviews. I don't blame Sonic for feeling riled personally - various friends and assoiciates (like Pat Fish aka the Jazz Butcher, and future Spacemen / Spiritualized guitarist Mark Refoy) were willing to testify in Erik Morse's book that the Spacemen tought Loop a good deal.

I still like both bands, though. Overall S3 probably left behind a more impressive recorded legacy IMO - they made at least two masterpieces ("The Perfect Prescription" and "Playing With Fire") whereas Loop only made one ("A Gilded Eternity"). Both the Spacemen's debut and Loop's first two albums sound like the products of bands who were still learning the ropes and had yet to find a solid identity of their own.
