I just picked up a copy of an album called "Pendulum" by Eberhard Weber 
(on ECM).  It's all double bass and loops, with a few tasteful overdubs.  
The thing that caught my ears right away was that the majority of the 
loops are around 1 second or less.  I have been falling into the trap of 
longer loops than neccessary, and this recording is a great reminder of 
the effectiveness of good short loops.  In addition to the loop aspect, 
it's a beautiful album compositionally.  Very inspiring stuf.
