Unlike the numerous bands who arrive in a flash of genius and then slowly and painfully fade away into mediocrity before disintegrating, Loop grew greater with every release before abruptly terminating their 4-year trip. Released as a 45rpm double album for maximal volume, Loop’s final opus A Gilded Eternity carries the band’s vision of concentric electric ecstasy to its monumental conclusion in the 9-minute “Be Here Now”, a mesmeric invocation of the beautiful void.
