Whatever you want to read into it, as soon as it's released into the public space music is no longer in the hands of the creator.
Time. Space. Repeat. is an ever shifting gestalt entity of spirits contained within the glass jar of London... luckily, someone remembered to punch some holes in the lid so that we could breathe.... We have variously been described as "optimistic post-rock", "shoegaze", "beautiful", "lovely" and "not my cup of tea".
Thank you for reading this. Time. Space. Repeat. salutes you in a manner suitable to the things on your profile.

"If there really is a shoe-gaze movement going on, then Time. Space. Repeat. are definitely the torch bearers" Artrocker
"Londoners Time. Space. Repeat. are responsible for some of the most touching drone tinged rock n roll I’ve heard in ages...“End of the World” is like an Ian McCulloch penned anthem for a post-apocalyptic 28 Days Later landscape." Treblezine
"I would like to hear their music played against a backdrop of civil war and social disharmony as those are the images press-ganged into my brain when I hear this song. " Audiojunkies
You can download the Early Transmissions of Time. Space. Repeat. for free thanks to Lost Children:
Some nice things people have said about Early Transmissions:
"It seems these guys just want their work out there to be enjoyed by fans, which is great for us but they are genuinely too good to be unsigned. Check 'em out. Music for people who love music, by people who love music." - Brett Spaceman @ Evilsponge
"in all honesty their free to download album available within entitled ’early transmissions’ is as perfect an album as I’ve heard in a long while" - Mark @ The Sunday Experience
"This London five-piece have managed to immediately gain my interest with their debut album that contains some of the best post-rock I've experienced in recent memory.... pretty much everything these guys do works.... " - David Mansdorf @ Losing Today
Well, yes I suppose they do, well I hope so anyway! :)
And yes the following is tiny, I barely know anyone who even knows what post rock is, let alone likes it. The majority of the pitchfork / DIS crowd seems to be over 20 anyway which is pretty bad as most of my favourite bands always then seem to play over 18 gigs.
Festivals is the way forward for me to see any good music, just a shame I'm skint heh.
By the way, you trying to get into any festivals this year? Offset has an unsigned band stage that may still be applying.
I can understand why you can find it hard for any reasonably good gigs most of the time. Lot's of the good ones like you've mentioned in your blog are pretty much run by twats and the whole sell 50 tickets malarky otherwise you can't play does seem to be a complete load of bollocks that just fucks you over really. I can understand you not wanting to play crappier gigs that are easy to come by as well, seems like a waste of time. I can imagine it's hard to play with the same type of bands for the most part too, the main scene I see in London is basically mainly indie pop at every small (under 18's allowed) venue probably as real indie or post rock isn't exactly popular in that age group and it makes it absolutely shit for me to be honest, specially when bands like No Age only play over 18 gigs.
I will be patient mind, would like to see how you differ live from recorded stuff for sure.
Also sorry for ranting like a slight lunatic, I should not do this.
Afraid I'll have to give it a miss then, will wait for any possible dates where I can get in still mind.
I can't be bothered with the fake ID thing to be perfectly honest it's never worked in the past and it really is quite difficult to blag into these places.
thats what i like to do lol in lots of things in life, its much better if your give half of the picture, and let the brain of the individual do the rest, we all have a marvelous, thing inbetween our ears
Sounds lovely live, anything per the usual is great!
Would see you pretty often actually as of late as I have only one gig on the horizon and it's getting all a bit boring on the music live front for me due to not having enough money for festivals.
Glad to see your getting more fans from the Jag anyway, proves just how many people visit DIS.
By chance have you ever tried sending anything to them to review or asking? Might get you some publicity and some attention for virtually nothing anyway.
Thank you for your comment, much appreciated and I do like my comedies.
Anyway I only know you because of Jagging on DIS basically, will try to catch you live at some point hopefully. Really like the post rock sounding stuff and your virtually the only smallish band I know at the moment I enjoy. End of the world is one great song.
Hope you go far anyway and will be looking for any tour dates you have soon.
Also, nice choice of influence there with Chris Morris :).
does this mean the face of time space repeat will never be same...
do u carry a little notebook around to write little notes or lyrics in(not unlike buckley), or do you have a certain time that you sit down and write lyrics?
well i must listen to you sometime... hmmm why has it changed from a whole band to just one? i always thought you are my sunshine was a boring song, but if you put alot of energy into it i guess it sounds good.
DEATH and LOSS, most of the songs in the world are about either or both, seems to be a good thing to write about, i guess it helps people when they can relate to other people, or their idols.
it helps if we "dwell" on something positive though
im not going to commit it oh no, but i think about it alot, hmmm sounds alot like jeff at the sine' i wish i could do somthing like that, i will in two years time though that will be quite entertaining, do u play anycovers at all?
interesting, is there much difference now that theres only one? im pondering upon suicide, which is absolutly normal for me... so im good... and how do u mangage, do u just pre record most of the intruments, then play one live? im not sure how you would do it
