Loop split up quite a long way back, but their chief songwriter Robert
Hampson has continued putting music out under the name of Main. It is
more industrial and droney than Loop were, and some of it can be very
good, though I haven't heard any of the more recent Main stuff.
Also, Robert Hampson records what has been described as 'abstract hip-
hop' under the name of Chasm. I haven't heard any of this, but I am
pretty curious about it. Has anybody come across it? I know there was a
Chasm song on the compilation album Further Mutations:Lo Recordings Vol
4.
Cheers.
