Loop – The World In Your Eye – Cassette

Loop – The World In Your Eye is the debut studio album by the English rock band Loop. It was released in 1987 and is considered a seminal work in the shoegaze and psychedelic rock genres. The World in Your Eyes compiles the entirety of Loop’s 16 Dreams and Spinning 12″ singles and adds four extra songs.

The World In Your Eye showcases Loop’s distinctive blend of heavy, hypnotic riffs, swirling guitar textures, and droning melodies. The album’s sound is characterized by its dense layers of guitar effects, repetitive patterns, and immersive sonic landscapes.

Their earlier phase tends to concentrate centrally on pounding a giant riff into submission with the least amount of backing necessary, with all the sunshine happiness of the most downered Stooges sub-blues imagined.

Generally, The World in Your Eyes captures some of Loop’s most straight-ahead material, and Robert Hampson’s vocals are at their least fiddled with, production-wise. Bex’s Spartan drum patterns usually consist of “thwack,” “thwack-thwack,” or “thwack-thwack-pish”; she might not stand a chance in King Crimson, but she fits the bill perfectly on minimally stomping songs like “16 Dreams” and “Head On.”

The ten-minute “Burning World” and 13-minute extended version of “Burning Prisma” (how many other bands do extended versions of ten-minute songs?) both have the entrancing qualities of the best Spacemen 3; the lengthier version features some extended soloing that avoids flash and wank.

“Brittle Head Girl”‘s melancholia strikes upon third album Velvet Underground, bizarrely using shades of new wave synth. A brilliantly fevered cover of Suicide’s “Rocket USA” (from a Peel Session) captures all the rush and frenzy of the original; Hampson’s vocals do Alan Vega proud, evoking all the evacuated headspace required: “Gonna crash/Gonna die.” A racing rhythm box drives it in the same manner of the original, but the stun guitars add something that the earlier version arguably lacks.

Lyrically, The World In Your Eye explores themes of introspection, existentialism, and altered states of consciousness. The introspective and poetic lyrics add depth and introspection to the band’s music, enhancing the overall atmospheric and immersive experience.

Loop – The World In Your Eye is highly regarded for its influential sound and its impact on the shoegaze and psychedelic rock genres. The album has influenced numerous bands and artists and remains a cult favorite among fans of alternative and experimental rock.

For listeners who appreciate immersive and atmospheric rock music, The World In Your Eye by Loop is a must-listen. It encapsulates the band’s unique sound and serves as an important milestone in the development of the shoegaze and psychedelic genres.
