Bloody Hell, Eric, if that's your idea of recommended listening I'm
going to have to drive on up to CalArts and personally administer a
beatdown on your taste-deprived self.  What is it, the end of the
semester psychosis creeping up on you?  Blearrgh.

Anyway...  My turn I guess.  All of these are very loop-oriented, albiet
in very different sorts of ways.

-- "Confusion/Gentleman" and "Original SufferHead/I.T.T." by Fela Kuti
(two of a series of MCA two-album-per-CD reissues coming out
domestically even as we speak).  For those not familiar with Fela, think
of a Nigerian cross between James Brown, Bob Marley, '70s Miles Davis,
and Sun Ra.  Very hypnotic and repetitive ensemble playing.  Oh, and
obscenely funky.

-- "Children of God" by Swans.  Don't really know what to say about
them, but you can check out http://www.swans.pair.com for info.  Not for
the faint of heart.

-- "Live/Haai" and "Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh" by Magma.  I *really*
don't know what to say about Magma... try http://www.room34.com/magma
for starters.

-- "Disruption Theory" by Andre LaFosse.  (Ahem...)
