I find this really interesting as I find myself having to push the other way...to have my looped music seen in the context of "just another lineup / another musicians intepretation of songs" rather then "special effects and gimmicks".
I also find the opposite in terms of after-show interaction with punters.I would say after every gig I have at least two people come stand on stage while im packing up and either just oggle my gear out and out or give a hand shake and "good gig" shpiel whilst gluing their eyes to the reverse of my effects board.
 
I don't really mind either way... I was exactly the same with Jez Reily who was the first person I saw looping... I just had to find a reason to talk to him long enough to memorise the nu,bers and shapes of his effects so I could try and do the same.
