hi-

for guitar drone music, you can't go wrong with the following albums:

2. sunn o))) - grimm robe demos
3. earth - earth 2
4. boris - absolutego
5. bowery electric - bowery electric
5. eluvium - talk amongst the trees
6. jesu - jesu
7. labradford - prazision lp
8. lab report - figure x-71
9. lovesliescrushing - glissceule
10. lustmord - juggernaut
11. main - firmament
12. sunn o))) & boris - altar
13. windy & carl - antarctica bliss out
14. zoviet france - the decriminalization of country music
15. the valley of wolves - blackness poured from the sky, and darkened  
the earth...

it's nice to finally see a topic on this list that i can relate to. i  
listen to a lot of music like this, obviously. i wouldn't necessarily  
say that the albums listed above are my favorite albums by these  
artists, they are definitely good, and are their most representative  
"guitar drone" work. and of course, all of the artists mentioned above  
are amazing throughout the remainder of their catalogs, though some  
vary wildly from album to album (boris and earth, in particular).

as a disclaimer, i have to admit, i mixed that last project "the  
valley of the wolves" and it is freely available to download from  
myspace, here:

http://www.myspace.com/thevalleyofwolves

in relation to looping, the entire record was done with a guitar, a  
bass, a digitech PDS8000, digitech RDS3.6, and a digitech RP250,  
before being further mutilated in the computer (digital performer)  
during the mixing stage. i offered him the use of my repeater, but it  
didn't get any action. :)

enjoy, and have a good droning holiday!
