Collective minds thinking and singing as one I find intolerable because of the lack of individualism and penchant for 'coming together as one' hippy hysteria shyte, plus it sounds naff. On the positive side, at least it's not Country music of foken Italo-Disco or summit. Every cloud n'that.

I dunno man, gospel can be pretty badass. Pastor T.L. Barrett has some proper fucking jams. Nobody Knows would likely be on any top 100 songs of all time list I made, if I were to make one.
Also yeah there’s definitely some similar stuff going on with some eras of Primal Scream (assuming you meant Screamadelica). But Spacemen 3 also incorporated a decent amount of gospel-adjacent stuff into their work. Just not the choral kind.
