2020 repress. "A Gilded Eternity was the third and final full-length from Loop. Originally released in January 1990, it was reissued as part of the band's series of remastered 2xCDs in 2009. The seven tracks on the album (plus the two on the bonus single) are from a band at the absolute peak of their powers. There was far more to Loop than simply bludgeoning riffs and cranking up the gain control -- here was a group that also traded in textures, tempos and a no-less-intoxicated alternative to the saucer-eyed ravers who were then 'avin' it large. A Gilded Eternity was the moment that Loop slipped loose the anchor and set sail into a universe that was entirely their own -- a collection of hypnotic mantras that used repetition deliberately and methodically to induce a trance-like state. The epic 'Be Here Now' is a typical case: crafted around a circling, swooping riff, its build-up is both subtle and jarring, coming on with all the stealth and power of an unexpurgated LSD trip."
