These folks have done a number of things with loops that I could have picked but the standouts to me are: Joni Mitchell - The Wolf That Lives In Lindsey (from Mingus) The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows (from Revolver) Bill Frisell - Power Tools (just about anything on it...) David Torn - What Means Solid...(particularly title tune) Daniel Lanois - Sling Blade soundtrack If I can add things that were played in real time of a loop-like nature, as someone else has, I'd add: Miles Davis - On The Corner Steve Reich - Tehellim Not sure whether they'd be included in this, but two of my favorite records with lots of sampled & looped grooves are: Public Enemy - Fear Of A Black Planet MeShell N'degeocello - Peace Beyond Passion Weather Report used to do some things with repetetive sequenced parts, such as In Pursuit Of The Woman In The Feathered Hat from Mr. Gone that I thought were very cool. That particular one has an ostinato line that comes in with the groove and changes timbre as different layers are piled on. Ken R
