GUITAR LOOPS

"Laid down in a single continuous take, Guitar Loops reveals another side of Pierce's playing, as he launches into a set of sliced solos that involve percussive techniques as well as the more familiar amplified abstractions. Alternatively sounding like a gamelan orchestra, a carillon and the opening bowel-churning power chording of a Blue Cheer concert, Guitar Loops ingeniously entangles the exotic musical minimalism of Charlemagne Palestine and Philip Corner with the free rock sirening of 'Expressway To Yr Skull' - era Sonic Youth."
