Customer Reviews

Loop
...were truly unique - it's true Robert didn't care if some people didn't find him accessible, but it's that kind of person that can often make the best music.

Funnily enough, what the other reviewers describe as negatives are to me positives, though exaggerated - ok, there aren't 'tunes' as in Abba, but there are discernable song structures and it's simply heavy psych drone stuff. My Bloody Valentine, Spacemen 3, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Velvet Underground etc followers will be familar with the idea, it's just taken to the Nth degree - but then that's i loved about Loop - and only Sianspheric (PLEASE check this band out they're tops) have matched it in on one or two tracks.

Anyway the best track is 'Be here now' - 9+ minutes of spaced out psych bliss

Worth buying for 'Breathe Into Me' alone.
A harsh, repetitave, minimal album. A Gilded Eternity consists mainly of riffs with little in the way of lyrics or solos, the ones that there are mixed down so low as to be almost inaudible.

If you can get it, the 1991 Peel Sessions album Wolf Flow is even better. This contains the superb one-chord (and I suspect a power chord at that) Collision.

A lost classic finally given the treatment it deserves.
I first bought this album when it was released the best part of twenty years ago and it was very special then as it is now. Trading in power, space and repetition without ever being dull it takes you into a strange twilight world of its own making. Part heavier-than-thou rock, part barely restrained menace It seems more like a post apocalyptic alien 'Nam movie than a mere album. "The nail will burn" and "Breathe into me" are the stand out riff monsters so heads down hallucinogenic that you don't so much listen to them as become engulfed in their tentacles. "Blood" and "shot with a diamond" add more ambient textures but the atmosphere remains very foreboding. The album is dark and experimental in a very good way but also never forgets how to rock.

I urge anyone who loves to "LISTEN" to music, isn't afraid of trying something different and in my opinion unique, give this a try. The remastered double disc version is a fantastic improvement on the original CD version with a host of Peel Sessions and Demo versions and the sound quality has improved immensely probably even topping the original Vinyl release. It brought a tear to my eye to hear it sounding so good again after all these years.
