Loop - Collision Video
Take one riff, play it lots, play it hard and solo over the top of it. Whilst sounding very simplistic, it's the formula that Loop used to make a couple of the essential indie LPs of the 80s - Fade Out and Heaven's End. It's hard to think of any other musical artists that have come close to what Loop did with their music, there have been echoes of it since, but there's little out there to compare with their drive and commitment to such a solid guitar groove.
If you had to pick a top ten of EPs from Indie during the 80s then the Collision EP would have to be in the top three. The title track's riff is so simple yet so effective, driving and pounding, you had no choice but to dance when it came on. The sound is both distant and crystal clear - the lead guitar spiders away like a bad night's dreaming and the vocals come from out of the same place. It's fitting that the band choose to base the video for the song on the imagery of the Hellraiser film. Here for your entertainment is one of my personal all time favourites - Collision.
