Loop - From Centre To Wave Video

Loop were one of those key bands in my musical development. I got into them at an early age and embraced both their instrumental sound and the vocal stylings. In a nutshell, simple riffs played very heavily, with the vocals so down on the mix you struggle to hear them. Drench the whole lot in thick, spaced-out effects and you have a wonderous noise. As well as loving the combined effect of their musical techniques, I soon learnt that both are great techniques to hide the fact you a. Can't play and b. Can't sing. To this day I still can't do either, which is why the odd sad sorry attempt I make to create some music, a lot of their sound is still in there.

Whilst it covered up my failings as a musician, Loop never needed to use the techniques to cover their tracks, as despite the outwardly simple sounding nature of their music, they were creative and skilled musicians. This track is from their final LP, A Gilded Eternity, and is a specially made video for the classic Snub TV from BBC2. I could write a page on the joys of Snub TV, but that's another post. Instead of me boring you with that, here's Loop and From Center To Wave.
