Try these on for size --

"No Pussyfooting" by Fripp and Eno (also available on "The Essential 
Fripp and Eno," which includes all of "No Pussyfooting" plus several 
other outtakes.)

"What Means Solid, Traveller?" and "Tripping Over God" by David Torn 
(Good luck trying to find the first one).

Any of the solo Soundscape CDs by Fripp; I recommend "1999" or 
"Radiophonics."  I'm not so enamored with "A Blessig of Tears" -- too 
redundantly syrupy for my tastes.

These are all pretty "stock" examples, but these are probably the best 
candidates for the loop counterparts to the aforementioned classics.

There are some other recomended recordings which were largely posted in 
the first week of the list's existence; check the archive at the web site 
for that.

Happy listening,
