Loop - RFD

I pre-ordered my CD from Cooking Vinyl about two weeks ago, because it was a lot cheaper shipping than from the band's official site. It has not yet been shipped though.

I saw a copy in a local store a week ago and would have grabbed it if I hadn't already pre-ordered it from Cooking Vinyl, but now it's release day and it still hasn't even been shipped. Shoulda just ordered from the big bad A on this one.

This is pretty good indeed! I wasn't sure what this would bring and kept my expectations low, but this is a really nice continuation of their catalog.

Sadly I think ordering from Cooking Vinyl was a huge mistake, my CD copy still hasn't even shipped, so streaming it in the meantime and considering sourcing a cheaper copy elsewhere. Not sure if this is a standard experience from them or what, but lesson learned.

'A Guilded Eternity' sounded pretty ace to me today giving it a listen for the first time in years. I got to give 'Fade Out' a listen next.

Got to figure Loop might have missed a bit not hanging around another year or two when the Alt-Rock circus broke big worldwide. Main was cool, but it was more of an ambient group.

Those two Loop records I got warm thoughts about as they are in a list of a bunch I found all at once in one semester of doing radio in college. I had a crap early a$$ morning slot, but dug it quite a bit except that one day I came in and both turn tables, the CD player and the tape player had been stolen. Jason Gross of Perfect Sound Forever had the next slot that first semester.
