Loop - Twelves
Released 16th May 2025
Remastered from the original tapes by Kevin Metcalf and then reissued for the first time in 2009 as part of the WORLD IN YOUR EYES 3CD set on Reactor. Now re-mastered for vinyl and re-cut to lacquers by Shawn Joseph/Optimum Mastering and issued as TWELVES. (ref: the 3 x 7” set SEVENS released 2020)
Each side of this 3LP set has one of the 12”s in full, 16 Dreams / Spinning / Collision / Black Sun / Arc-Lite..as well as the promo only LIVE 12” Prisma Uber Europa. The 12” cover of each LP has the relevant sleeve on each side to recreate the original sleeve image, and each 12” side will have labels as close to the original designs as possible.
Hear Loop expand their sound from the Stooges / Velvets / garage pyschout of “16 Dreams”, into the “Spinning” era and then develop their motorik fuzzed-out nihilistic pummel through the “Collision” and “Black Sun” EPs to finish this set with the “Arc-Lite” side, possibly Loop at their most visceral. Unable to be pigeon holed like most bands of this time, their live shows also wiped the floor with everyone as evidenced on the “Prisma Uber Europa” 12”.
Not reissued on vinyl when first remastered, now its time. PLAY LOUD The 2009 3CD version will also be reissued too…All the band's 12-inches and compilation tracks in chronological order, with some demo tracks along the way, featuring tracks from the very first Loop demo,"16 Dreams" single, "Spinning", "Collision", "Black Sun" and "Arclite" as well as the Nick Drake tribute on Imaginary, the Neil Young tribute Comp on No. 6 Records, the "promo" Live 12", and even the Godflesh cover version from their split on Clawfist.
Loop reformed in 2013 to headline /curate one of the last ATP Festivals, following the great response to the remastered reissues of2008/2009. Hampson then re-grouped with a new LOOP Lineup and recorded a new LOOP EP “Array” in 2015. In 2022 LOOP released a widely acclaimed new album “Sonancy” on Cooking Vinyl.

Released 7th November 2025 It was the arrival of a Studer A80 master recorder at the front door of Sam Shepherd- otherwise known as Floating Points-that caused him to begin building the studio that led to the creation of his debut album, Elaenia. After a slight miscalculation meant that he could not physically get the thing inside his home, what happened next can only be described as a beautiful example of the butterfly effect. Breaking away from making electronic music on his laptop, the DJ,...

Released 7th November 2025 Following the breakthrough success of Suburban Light, the 2001 collection of The Clientele’s initial singles and EPs, tastemakers and aficionados were eager to hear what the trio of Alasdair MacLean (guitars, vocals), Mark Keen (drums, piano), and James Hornsey (bass) could make if set loose inside a studio to record a full-length album. What they emerged with from London’s Medina Road Studios in the fall of 2002 was tantalizing: Their already sharply realized motif...
