Spacemen 3, Hopewell, The Peter Parkers adn depending on which portion of space your looking at Acid Mothers Temple. Our ask your question on the lovely blisscent@yahoogroups.com mailing list which is right down that alley.

I thought space rock was stuff like Hawkwind.

― dleone, Tuesday, 4 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Tell me about the Peter Parkers. I'm assuming they're not the same as that awful trio from Seattle.

try Godspeed you black emperor, Rachel's, Mum.

If you want space rock : I highly recommend QUICKSPACE (first album is super) and SPACEMEN 3, also Spectrum, Spiritualized, Slipstream, Jessamine, EAR, Windy & Carl, Flying Saucer Attack. (Also see Mogwai or Spiritualized live for amazing shows!) There are other names for genres that would include different bands, but not space rock the aforementioned is space rock.

No indeed. Wonderful Canadian group.

I bet you'd like avant-garde Japanese guitarist Keiji Haino.

His sound is quiet spacey, and he has been compared to such great guitarists as Derek Bailey and many others.

Worth checking out.

Thanks, Geoff

Hawkwind ARE space rock. most of the other people mentioned above are either drone rockers or just bands who don't have vocalists. But Hawkwind are true outer spacers.

Acid Mothers Temple are also a top spacerock band. Julian Cope leans that way on Jehovakill. I think a lot of Krautrock has that spacerock thing going.

I like Loop. Are they space rock?

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 5 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think they are spacey drone rock. I like them too.

Things are Looking Up By The Freed Unit

― Flowersdie, Wednesday, 5 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

To make things even more confusing Peter Parker (from Seattle) and The Peter Parkers (from Moncton) were on a compilation called Four Dots a few years back that gathered music from Seattle, Bellingham, Halifax and Moncton.

Lets see links:

Chart article #2

Austin's defunct space-rock masters Comet and their NYC offshoot, The Secret Machines.

Listen to their best song here: http://www.acefu.com/

Check out Auburn Lull, PAIK, Surface of Eceon, Bowery Electric's 1st album

― Curt, Wednesday, 5 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I agree w/dleone and DV. HAWKWIND is space rock, u shd try to get hold of their albums "Doremi Fasolatido" and "Space Ritual" Mogwai space rock? er? and Sigur Ros are surely shoegazer musick taken to its ultimate expression or something. Try to get those 2 Hawkwind albums & see what U think.

― Norman Phay, Wednesday, 5 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

In the Mogwai vein, Dirty Three.

― Leee, Wednesday, 5 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Loop have never ever evoked space for me. Yes they drone, but listening to them is like being submerged in muck (in a glorious way, of course). It's crowded, hot, walled-in, and you just keep sinking...

ha ha, I saw the Acid Mothers Temple Soul Collective review tour last friday.

I can't believe I missed this thread.

― kate, Thursday, 5 June 2003 08:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I tried to think of some Spacerock recommendations, and I couldn't come up with anything new that hasn't been mentioned already. That's pathetic.

Someone reccomend *me* some new spacerock that's been released in the past two years or so. Yes, go crazy with the cheeze whiz, Mssrs Barrus and Noodles! I'll try to pick up some the next time I go record shopping.

― kate, Thursday, 5 June 2003 09:02 (twenty-two years ago)

when i was in LA, barrus told me that grimble grumble have a new record/have reformed/something or other

― gareth (gareth), Thursday, 5 June 2003 09:30 (twenty-two years ago)

i can't believe no-one's mentioned Man or Astroman? almost all the bands listed are way too hippy/primitive to even suggest space (not a complaint but...).

i s'pose we could distinguish between inner spacerock and outer spacerock...

― nebbesh (nebbesh), Thursday, 5 June 2003 10:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Kate - any record by Acid Mothers Temple or any offshoot thereof. The Acid Mothers Temple Soul Collective (three AMT sub-bands) are playing in Kosmische this week. or may have already played.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Thursday, 5 June 2003 10:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Drop me a line about Quickspace, Kate, and berate me to find out the name of that song. That'll prompt me to think of other bands. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 5 June 2003 12:15 (twenty-two years ago)

TOMORROW NIGHT! PLEASE COME!! you won't be able to, i expect, but come next time, i'll give you plenty of warning when it's going to be.

― duane, Thursday, 5 June 2003 12:19 (twenty-two years ago)

How 'bout Grandaddy? They don't really quite get much momentum going in most of their material, but their music certainly has a definite in-the-void-of-space feel to it.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 5 June 2003 12:20 (twenty-two years ago)

What? Was that directed at me or someone else on this thread? You know I can't follow links to ILE. :-(

Is it something to do with Spacerock?

― kate, Thursday, 5 June 2003 12:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Why can't you use ILE?

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Thursday, 5 June 2003 12:26 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a long story and not one I particularly feel like getting into. Never mind.

― kate, Thursday, 5 June 2003 12:28 (twenty-two years ago)

kate yes it's a link to a thread i started about my band is playing etc etc, yeah because we are space rock i think

― duane, Thursday, 5 June 2003 12:35 (twenty-two years ago)

it's space rock but it's also time rock

― duane, Thursday, 5 June 2003 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I would like some rock that could take me BEYOND time and space. Sigh...

Good luck with the show!

― kate, Thursday, 5 June 2003 12:39 (twenty-two years ago)

thanks yo

― duane, Friday, 6 June 2003 04:17 (twenty-two years ago)

kate are you familiar with F/i or VocoKesh (2 related bands, from wisconsin, both still going i think)? you oughta like em i think.
also ULTRA IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATION

― duane, Friday, 6 June 2003 04:23 (twenty-two years ago)

(sorry bout that cut myself off mid post)ULTRA IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATION altho probably already familiar to anyone into ~~sniffing solvents~~ space rock, the 2nd ("Alien Soundtracks") & 3rd ("Half Machine Lip Moves:" ) LPs by Chrome those're killer diller to the power of max skrillaz...it's science fiction metal, EVERYTHING thru about 10 FX pedals, crazy disorientating jump edits,etc etc, absolutely fab-u-lous....also recommend early (immediately post-syd b.) Pink Floyd, "More" & "Ummagumma" & early Tangerine Dream (1st album, with Conrad Schnitzler & Klaus Schultz, "Electronic Meditation")/early Ash Ra/Cosmic Jokers/all them cats, for the defining sound of ether massage.

― DUANE, Friday, 6 June 2003 04:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Why is Dirty Three/GYBE getting mentioned here? (shakes head)

Anyway, for me Hawkwind is the base of Space Rock (as opposed to drone, motorik, ec.) and two recommendations come to mind...

SPACIOUS MIND: Swedish commune-band that plays a heroic blend of familar and unfamiliar that leads off into forgotten deserts and the surrounding multiverse. Their set at Terrastock 5 was pretty goddamn mind expanding and were the only band I've seen in years in which each member got an ovation when walking off stage.

MAGNOG: Seattle trio that released two albums on Kranky in the mid 90s before evaporating. Call 'em the short-attention span version of Ash Ra Tempel - enough hypno for the drone heads but with enough layering and stuff in the mix to entertain even the most hard core proggers. I wish they were still around.

seven months pass...

PAIK and Surface Of Eceon are really good bands. Anything else in that vein?
Are Levitation space rock? They remind me of Loop.

― Frankie, Thursday, 5 February 2004 14:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Levitation were more sort of inde/prog than spacerock, I thought. I have all their records bar two, and a load of loop records, and I must admit I don't hear much similarity between the 2.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 5 February 2004 14:21 (twenty-one years ago)

PAIK and Surface Of Eceon are really good bands. Anything else in that vein?

As Surface consists of members of Landing and Yume Bitsu, check them out.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 5 February 2004 17:23 (twenty-one years ago)

If you can track down a copy, the first album by Dr Phibes & The House Of Wax Equations, called Whirlpool is a great listen.

― mzui, Thursday, 5 February 2004 17:26 (twenty-one years ago)
