Loop were a British band, recording between 1987 and 1990, that tied in with the shoegazing and Jesus and Mary Chain style of indie rock. I only had their "Fade Out" album (1988), which these three tracks are from.
We can assume that they chose the name Loop because their songs all featured a looped section of music but they used them quite effectively to make good songs. Also, I guess that this album was called Fade Out as that's what all the songs do!

We will never forget you
This is a blog to hear many classic indie songs (usually first heard by me on the John Peel radio show) which passed by largely unknown. Some of the tracks have less than perfect sound quality as I transferred them from my old cassettes to the PC. I'll include any information I know about the bands and the songs. I will put some music on here again but it may not be that often. I intend to give you stuff that you can't get anywhere any more.

About Copyrights
Most of the songs here are more than 10 years old and didn't sell many copies when they were released. If you have an issue about whether they should be allowed to be downloaded, think about the fact that no money is being made from them here, they are linked to because I think they shouldn't have got lost in time and that people may be hearing them for the first time here.
However, if the song is being released in some way and you are currently earning revenue from this particular version then email me with proof and I'll remove it.
If you can't give me a good reason why they should be removed (and I'm talking ethically and morally here) then please just let them be.

loop are amazing. if you havn't heard there cover of mother sky (can) then you should definatly check it out... i dont know of any radio sessions they did but i would love to hear any if they exist. good work spreading the gospel.
I discovered Loop in the very days they were releasing their albums (and I've got their vynils, actually). I've recently started to rediscover them, and well, no words to describe it... They really were innovators!
Thanks for posting these three songs.
Not at all! Always good to know when someone likes a post.
Following another thread elsewhere I found this: http://www.heavensend.org/news/index.html: an interesting reissue of Loop's works is coming.
