20100 LOOP 01 (MP3 by Loop) A compilation free for download from the Chilean website loop. The title is probably programmatic, but the loops are used in different ways. The dense drone piece by Pablo Reche for instance consists probably of a lot of loops, carefully placed on top of eachother to create this dense mass of sound. On the total opposite side is Receptor with their (his?) Chain Reaction inspired tune. In between a lot more loose loops are used, in various guises, but the overall ambient character of the pieces are to be noted here, such as in the pieces by Gustavo Lamas, Vadislav Delay, Coti or Richard Chartier. Also includes Kim Cascone, Longina, @c+Lia, Denzel & Huhn, Lame Gold, Dub Tractor, Luis Marte and Coeval. Very nice compilation.
