| | Loop Guru Elderberry Shiftglass CD Loop Guru Discography of CDs
Their long awaited 13th album 'Elderberry Shiftglass' is here. A homage to the psychedelia of 1966 in 2006. This is the Loop Guru's Sgt Peppers, the most complete album to date!Loop Guru have pushed the exotic musical envelope into the psychedelic larder of sampledelica, entering this space with a smorgasboard of marshmallows, trifle and fruit! You will need your dark glasses for this ride!Its is a given that Sam Dodson and Jamuud are creative and exploratative musicians and the founders of global music pioneers Loop Guru. This message has been taken world wide with their extensive touring, 6 NME and Melody Maker singles of the week, 5 sessions for the late great John Peel and the first album which charted at no 4 in the indie charts. Loop Guru are dubbed the 'Godfathers of Global Fusion' by Melody Maker, a moniker that has remained with them creating a respectful buzz whenever they perform.The artists Mickey Hart, Jean Michel Jarre, Pop Will Eat itself, Banco de Gaia, Les Baxter and Youth all invited Loop Guru to add that unique Loop Guru 'je ne sais quoi' into their music for remixes. Two tracks in the film 'Entrapment' and many TV programmes add to their list of commercial prowess and accomplishments.REVIEWS OF "Elderberry Shiftglass"DJ MagLoop GuruElderberry ShiftglassElsewhenAmbient dub psychedeliaLoop Guru were one of the pioneers of ethnodelic dance music in the early '90s, and are still going strong. They retain their psychedelia here, but experiment with prog rock, dreamy downtempo soundscapes, backwards tape loops and bizarre samples. a treat for da heads. Kim O'ConnorMint track:'Strawberry Girl'****(4 stars out of 5)MUSICIAN MAGAZINEPSYCHEDELIC POPLOOP GURUELDERBERRY SHIFTGLASSRemix masters and soundscape creators Sam Dodson and Jamuud offer a stunning blend of Gerry Anderson pop-a-rama and familiar childlike psychedelia across 20 recordings that capture your heart from the fabulous opener 'Strawberry Girl' to clser 'Spring (before the aftertaste)' . Proudly announcing the inclusion of such elements as "a bicycle bass at picknic", this is a million miles from your standard fare. With tracks often prologued by spooky spoken samples, we soon settle into a world where space-race Telstar acolytes meet in the Twilight zone. Loop Guru highlight the appeal of a very English type of music-making that never loses it's appeal. Highly recommended. www.myspace.com/loopguruKEITH AMESVANITY PROJECT (Fanzine - webzinne)Loop Guru – Elderberry Shiftglass (Elsewhen)Subtitled Soundcakes From The Universe Next Door, this album sees Loop Guru continue on their ever evolving and mutating trajectory through the guruniverse and landing on an Elderberry smelling planet that is caught in a hazy sixties psychedelic blur. Whilst unmistakably Loop Guru at heart this release sees Muud & Gita embracing warm psychedelic pop and twisting it into new shapes and colours while it swirls away in a dreamlike state; Opener Strawberry Girl is the perfect mix of Loopish beats and twinkling keys before giving way to the Beatles-esque United States Of Elderberry. The trip continues through twenty colourful visions interwoven with spoken samples, bringing to mind those old films of visiting other planets and meeting aliens before they all get down to a hip shaking party filmed in brightcolours and at odd angles, the ladies in mini skirts doing smart moves as the scene fades in and out of focus. This is probably pushing close to the classic Amrita album for being my favourite Loop Guru album; a fun and colourful explosion of groovy sounds and a true love for sounds from the psychedelic era and dare I say a true masterpiece. www.myspace.com/loopguru.GREBOYORKSHIRE EVENING POSTLoop GuruElderberry ShiftglassElderberry Shiftglass (subtitled Soundcakes From The Universe Next Door) is sampling wizards Loop Guru's 13th album and it sees what is, for the duo of Sam Dodson and Jamuud, a major shift in direction.

Elderberry Shiftglass
$12.49 The Apples In Stereo include: Robert Schneider (vocals); Hilarie Sidney (drums). One of the defining albums of the mid-'90s indie scene, the Apples in Stereo's full-length debut is one of those records that marks a sea change in musical attitudes, akin to Mudhoney's "Touch Me I'm Sick" or Pavement's early singles. Besides being the breakthrough release of the Elephant 6 collective, which alone is responsible for many of the better albums of the decade, Fun Trick Noisemaker is the album that defines the post-grunge indie pop shift from sullen negativity into a kind of cockeyed, giddy optimism, and is also among the handful of albums that turned Brian Wilson, Arthur Lee, and Burt Bacharach into cool names to drop at the record store. The album opens with a plundered bit of sonic ...
