They (and various side projects of theirs) used to rehearse in my studio, Grey Area, in Soho back in the early '90s so I got used to absorbing this sound into my soul during that time. Hearing this again brings back memories. Still check out Algis, Norman and Vinnie's projects in Brooklyn these days and catch Swans when they make the rounds. Now I go with my son who loves them as well (early 20's).
That is so cool. As a native new yorker, I would have loved to see them at work at their craft. Any chance your studio is still up and running? I have a small one myself and would love to pay yours a visit.
@@blake9746 no. Had to close that long ago I'm afraid. Hard to make money in rehearsal business. The small bands are usually broke and the big ones on tour half the year ( but still want their space and time when they get back). And my bands were not easy on gear!
Sadly not an LP. Only released on CD and cassette. A high quality 2xLP reissue would be a fabulous thing. The live performances from this era were so great
The best version of Black Eyed Dog ever. This album desperately needs a re-release, I just want to play this album’s version of Black Eyed Dog on repeat for hours.
Saw them live this week for the third time since he restarted swans. Each show has deepened my appreciation for everything they’ve done. Gira and company are genuine artists who put a lot of work and care in. God knows how he yells at Hahn on stage it must be a labor of love.
@@naturphilosophie1 Haha. Yep, he's a such a perfectionist. My buddy Thom once said it's not a real Swans concert until Michael yells at the sound guy.
Yesssss... Had the CD, made flacs of it when I emigrated, both hard drives crashed and it isn't on a streaming service so thank you for this. One of their best albums and the most epic version of God Loves America...
Thanks for adding this - very limited edition! I have "Deliquescence" which was truly a limited edition - and it's great! Edited from their last tours, I believe.
Up to this point I’ve only heard their studio albums and Public Castration, and I thought there was a big jump from jarboe’s vocals on everything pre- soundtracks to soundtracks and this bridges the gap! Very cool, thank you for uploading
@@TheMadalucard Of course, I know Jarboe's rendition from The Great Annihilator, which is pure excellence btw, but I was talking about studio version of this kind of powerful, driving rendition of the song like above. So still a crime as for me:) It is just missing on Love of Life album.
