Active Loop Zone was formed sometime in 1992. The name came from an error message on a AKAI S2800 Sampler. If you set a sample up to loop a portion of the sample and then try and truncate the front end of the sample, it returns an error saying "WARNING, Start in Active Loop Zone!".
Rick Lomas and Donovan Lines have been making electronic music for years. We originally started by just making a few cassette albums and marketing them in magazines such as "Future Music" and "Sound on Sound", but we were quickly spotted by Michael Dog of Planet Dog Records. In 1994 Planet Dog made a compilation album called Quadruped V1 which featured "How do you feel?" and "Transambi" by Active Loop Zone, along with tracks by Zuvuya, Optic Eye and Children of The Bong. The album did quite well, getting to number 14 in the UK Independant charts.
Later on in 1997, Active Loop Zone released "Things happen to the head" on St Albans based Easy Tiger records which was a mental acid big beat workout that was played by Judge Jules on Radio 1 and everynight by Janice Long on Liverpool's Crash FM.
In 2001 Rick moved to France and Active Loop Zone continued in a minimal form.

Sharkweek is proud to announce the launch of his new album, "Egyptian Lions".
The new album offers lush soundscapes punctuated with surreal samples, playful melodies and manipulated found sounds. The musical themes drift between ambient, pop and dub.
Spheres of inspiration include outerspace, all manner of pop culture, and infomercials. Musical influence comes from varied sources such as The Orb, Future Sound Of London, Orbital, Boards Of Canada, Lemon Jelly, Astralasia, and Banco de Gaia. This eclectic mix, coupled with some stellar guest appearances from other musicians makes for an evocative and sometimes surprising listening experience.
"A mystical journey through lands afar ... trippy soundscapes, psychedelic ambient dub, futuristic space adventures and glitchy electro pop .. an ear orgasm of sounds that twist and turn evolving into a collection of songs that is intriguing, beautiful and a dose of epic electro trippiness.
