There are actually a few artist that base their loop creativity/song creation on this song.. and actually the way they did loops back then wasnt an easy chore.. it took a long time.. they didnt have the computer programs to copy and paste like today.. there was time into that.


You're right. It's constructed a lot like rave music, but it's not as conventional or accessable.
I think the way he did it was to collect 20 or so tape recorders and simply mix the different music & sounds coming from them.

And MrTation: you are right too. I think John Cage had popularized this movement. I know Lennon didn't invent it but he was probably one of a very few pop musicians to do it, and do it well, IMO


I read somehwere that is was extremly time consuming.. They would actually cut the loop out of the tape.. actually tape the loop back together then play it.. it was very tedious..
