Obscure question bugging me badly

[Steve Youles]

It is Hawkwind.  It's the Iron Dream riff, or more precisely, an excerpt
from "The Martian Disco Stomp" which features on the DVD.  This is assuming
that my DVD is the same as yours....

A similar question: one track on the 1992 Faith No More album "Angel Dust"
has a three-note bass riff (A - G - E or similar, repeated over and over)
which reminds me of something or other HW have done, but I can't think
what.  I don't have the Faith No More album here in a playable format so I
can't be more specific about which track it is, but it might be the 1st
track on the album.  Anyone know this riff and where it might appear in the
Hawks' oeuvre?

Steve
