Open sequentially numbered web pages automatically

Mountain Lion on a new desktop Mac.
I want to download Garageband wav loops from a website that has them spread out over 1420 sequential web pages. I already have the Automator workflow to download the loops but I need applescript or Automator code to tell Safari to open the "next" web page automatically and then close it after I've downloaded the loops. The pages are all sequentially numbered, http://looperman.com/loop?page=16, http://looperman.com/loop?page=17, etc. I've spent several days and dozens of internet searches on this and can't find a solution.

I would have scripted a command-line program (e.g. 'curl') to download the files. Then you don't have the issues with Safari.

But see also utilities that specialize in downloading web pages - e.g. WebSucker: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/17449/websucker/
