Haven't gotten through all the messages, but here are a couple of looping recordings no one has mentioned, that were a big influence on me: Roger Miller - Maximum Electric Piano In the late 1980s, Miller was using a rig consisting of a Yamaha electric baby grand, an EH 16 second delay, an analog delay, a fuzz box, a volume pedal, and Cage-style prepared piano techniques to pour insane amounts of sound out into the world. I saw him do this live and was never the same. This album, probably long out of print, captured the essence of what he was doing. Power Tools - Strange Meeting Frisell, Melvin Gibbs, and Ronald Shannon Jackson, live to DAT. Frisell's looping was more obvious then, which i think was a GOOD thing.
