Looptron is a sort of electronic music type thing that happens sometimes. It’s mainly a bloke called Neil Sharkey and a machine without a heart. Although sometimes other people help. Looptron music is available from Bandcamp (free download/pay what you like EPs), Soundcloud (free downloads, demos, rarities), Spotify (stream for free), Last.fm, iTunes, Amazon (US), Amazon (UK), Rhapsody and others.
