In the Early Daze Brock in fact stated that he wanted to experiment with
the music of repetition claiming inspiration from Cosmic Jokers which
certainly was repetitious.

In fact on their albums you can hear a very primitive version of the
sound Hawkwind were making from 70-73 before the gear shift of HotMG.
There are parts you'd almost swear were from some kind of 1968 Hawkwind.
