Wow!  looping for several years - that's dedication!  Were they actually
playing the whole time, or did they leave the loop running whilst they
slept? :) :)

I'm listening to The Durutti Column's "Sex & Death" - I don't know if Vini
Reilly's looping per se but his works manage to provide such an ambient
feel from a Strat and Roland Space Echo that it may be worth a listen for
inspiration.  Personally, I think it's phenomenal.

He also has a guitar/violin duet - my favourite instrument combination. 
Aside from KC and Ultravox, are there any other guitar/violin groupings out
there in this vein?
