There is more than one band associated with Land of the Loops? Please do tell more - reviews, info, anything. Bundle of Joy is probably the greatest hour of electronic pop I've ever heard - highly recommended. Is Refried Treats as good? --- the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto

The slabco. label has three artists (to my knowledge). It breaks down thusly Land of the Loops- as above...bumpy, groovin', simply amazing. truely music to get lost in. sukpatch- still funky but more poppy and guitar based Volume All Stars- Land of the Loops and sukpatch together. More hip-hopish but still with lush loops, bizarre between-song samples, and more of the Steroelab-like vocals.

Quality-wise it's the same as Bundle of Joy. Quantity-wise it only has 4 or 5 songs. Sound-wise it's slightly more ambient. In short IDMer's...run out and buy this now! Plus you get the added fanboy bonus of it being impossibly hard to find (although Fingerprints in Long Beach, CA and Amoeba in SF, CA are usually well stocked) -dave
