Discordant, elusive and utterly hypnotic, Loop conjured a dark, trance-like spell that contrasted sharply with the prevailing British pop music trends of their time. Equal parts the Stooges, Can and Hawkwind, in tandem with fellow travellers Spacemen 3 they resurrected the concept of space-rock for a new era, creating droning soundscapes of bleak beauty and harsh dissonance. Loop was formed in London in 1986 by vocalist/guitarist Robert Hampson, who at the time of the group’s inception claimed to know only four chords; with wife Bex on drums and Glen Ray on bass, they debuted with the single „16 Dreams,“ its raw, feedback-powered sound offering clear evidence of a serious garage fixation. New drummer John Wills and bassist Neil MacKay were signed on a short time later, with their arrival heralding a more primal rhythmic foundation; the reconfigured Loop then issued its 1987 full-length debut Heavens End, winning acclaim for its densely distorted sound.
The World in Your Eyes, a collection of singles and B-sides, appeared in 1987; after signing to the Chapter 22 label, Loop resurfaced in 1988 with the 12“ Collision. In November of that same year the group also released their second full-length, the excellent Fade Out.

FeedTheCollapse schrieb:
never understood the comparison to Spacemen 3 outside of both bands' early work ("Sound of Confusion" vs "16 Dreams/Spinning"); even then I would give the edge to Loop as the quality was much better. Though "I'll Take You There" and Spacemen 3's "Things'll Never be the Same" are more than a bit similar.
