It's been on my to-listen list for ages but somehow hasn't ever made it to the top. In fact, interestingly, the only album I own with him on it is John Zorn's "Naked City"! I haven't listened to that in years, so I just put it on. Do you remember particular tracks where his use of loops stood out? (I know, I could just keep listening, but I'm lazy.) Any other Frisell albums that stand out, where his use of looping made an impact? kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
