"Criminally out of print for over a decade, Loop leader Robert Hampson has finally spearheaded the reissues of the entire Loop backcatalogue, remastered and with the now requisite bonus tracks. The most obvious things these reissues show is just how much of a force Loop were, how they stood out from the era's so-called "shoegaze" bands, and how they laid a blueprint for New York's loudest bands today—moreso than numerous other citations." - Brainwashed
Along with Spacemen 3, Loop proved to be the UK's answer to the onslaught of harsh, guitar-wielding acts that dominated the late 80s independent scene. Like the Spacemen, Loop refined fuzz-laden, pulsing guitar riffs, monotonous vocals and distinctive drum patterns to build bruised and intimidating soundscapes. An uncompromising blend of late 60s Detroit rock (Stooges and MC5) and Germany's early 70s avant garde (Can and Faust), the result was a dense, brooding mantra-like noise, not unlike early Hawkwind.
Here is the 2-cd-reissue. Cd #2 contains the band's first Peel Sessions, different mixes and a cover version of Suicide's "Rocket USA" !
Loop - "Heaven's End (Reissue) CD#1" (Vbr)
Loop - "Heaven's End (Reissue) CD#2" (Vbr)
Enjoy !
