Steve Reich recorded a mad preacher and a bird flapped its wings; Reich decided to loop the recording and created It's Gonna Rain.

7. Escape from Noise - Negativland

Plunderphonics

Albums that sample music from other musicians. Plunderphonics albums usually put more emphasis on the musicality of the voice samples; the voice samples usually aren't at the forefront of your attention.
I'm not a fan of most hip-hop, but I like trip-hop and plunderphonics, both heavily influenced by hip-hop.

Tape Music

These albums are instrumental.
The Disintergration Loops is a looped playing of music the artist created and found in in bad shape. The ambient music becomes slowly destroyed and deteriorated; Basinski said he played it with his friends during the 9/11 attacks.

If you like music with loops, I recommend my list of glitch albums.
