LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPP! VVVVVVVVIIIIIIINNNNNNNYYYYYYYLLLLLLL!
HOLY SHIT. We thought this day would never come. Weve loved this record for a long long time now. When the CD reissue campaign went down a few years back all of us here at Permanent flipped our lids but we couldnt help but ask ourselves when will these most excellent records get rightfully reissued on wax? Multiple emails to the label offering to license a vinyl release on Permanent and 3 or so years of spinning the CDs and our personal copies of the original vinyl here we are ready to blow your minds with the first legit reissue of Loops debut LP Heavens End. Every time weve ever played this record for fresh ears inquiries as to what is was followed. Vinyl-only buyers splurged for the CD version. Its that kind of record. Itll be at the top of my (Lances) Best Reissues of 2012 list without a doubt. Fans of Spacemen 3 Jesus and Mary Chain and/or anything fuzzed-out feedback-laden repetitive psychedelic and heavy ABSOLUTELY NEED THIS RECORD! This may all sound like hyperbole but we assure you it is not. If you dig good music and you dont already own this just stop reading right now and drop this in yr cart. Therell be time enough for reading the back history when the dealing is done. Sceptics feel free to read Reactors description below-British primal psych band Loop was formed in London in 1986 by Robert Hampson on guitar and vocals and Beki Stewart (Bex) on drums. After finding bassist Glen Ray Loop signed to Head Records run by Jeff Barrett (Heavenly) and released the feedback-drenched 12-inch 16 Dreams. With the arrival of James Endeacott on second guitar drummer John Wills and bassist Neil MacKay Loop adopted a more primal rhythmic approach and put out their debut full-length 1987s Heavens End.The band hypnotized all with their discordant trance-like spell which served as an antidote to the prevailing trends in British pop at the time they resurrected the concept of loud out-there rock for a new era creating droning soundscapes of bleak beauty and harsh dissonance loosely influenced by The Velvet Underground The Stooges The MC5 but retaining the avant-garde and experimental edge of Can Faust Neu! Rhys Chatham Glenn Branca and minimalist systems music. Live shows were revelatoryLoop pushed PAs to the very limit delivering a sonic pummel that has yet to be experienced since.Out of print on vinyl for the last two decades Heavens End is finally available again in its original format.Are you really still reading this description? Whats holding you back? Maybe you think this all sounds too good to be true...its not. Its all true. Even this part- harsh dissonance loosely influenced by The Velvet Underground The Stooges The MC5 but retaining the avant-garde and experimental edge of Can Faust Neu! Rhys Chatham Glenn Branca. Its all true. If you buy this record and dont like it well buy it back for $12. Hows that for a guarantee?If youre still reading this description trying to decide whether to pull the trigger or not I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly take a stress pill and think things over. Just buy it. You wont be sorry you did.
