Had Loop been present at Woodstock, they probably would have hatched a plan
to obtain all the brown acid that Wavy Gravy warned spectators not to take.
After hearing his declaration that "The brown acid's a bummer, man!," Robert
Hampson and his droogs would have likely gone incognito as security staff,
offering to rid the concert goers of the bad trips waiting to be had. They
would have procedeed to ingest what they could and record something like
Heaven's End, a filler-free release of warped senses and personal demons,
inner-space blues, and psychotic dementia. It sounds like a vast toxic
wasteland where all negativity is dumped by the soul. Simple, tense riffs
repeat until a state of hypnosis and emotional emptiness remain. "Heaven's
End" itself sounds like the soundtrack to a missing hallucination scene from
Easy Rider; shifting and shuffling percussion and twisted vapor trails of
guitar mutate into utter mush. Samples from 2001 pop up throughout the
record, if the music itself wasn't enough to carry a prevailing sense of
paranoia and claustrophobia. But all the late-'60s references become stifling
in conveying what Loop did. Along the way, Loop gutted all the spiritual
mysticism from Can, taking their repetition. They also borrow Suicide's
minimal charge and early PiL's wretched anguish, making something rather
unique from their influences. Though Heaven's End demonstrates a crystal
clear indebtedness to Detroit's high-energy mayhem of the late æ60s, it's
actually the gunmetal gray sound of the Stooges and MC5 filtered through
decades of urban decay.
