RE: Who's on the forefront of loopmuse?

[jprice@intcpi.com (John Price)]

The forefront of Looping today is on what most here would undoubtedly 
consider the lowbrow side of all things loop that is if you are prone to 
categorizing things. 

IMHO - It's the dance floor dude that is still driving things loopey for 
the majority of the world - Musicians and audiences included.

Obvious and overexposed Loop Leaders: Beck, Square Pusher, DJ's Spookey & 
Shadow (Spelling??) Photek, Puff Daddy ( He aint original and he sure 
don't drone. But his loops are in the hands and ears of eager children all 
across the world while their $ is secure in his bank account) and The Orb 
on the Higher end of low end. 

Frankly, I can't nor would I ever dare say that any artist is better than 
the other. Its always like a pissing contest. And I cant stand it when 
people turn music appreciation into a sport and forum for their own biases 
and need to be acknowledged. Just a premonition of how people will respond 
to DK's question.

I'll try this again, just to see if this gets picked up.

*So, just for giggles, what / who is on the forefront of "looping-based
music"?*
I know this is somewhat an impossible question, but, maybe it's worth
bashing around for a while.
