lots of bass whatsoever, it was at this club called "firlej" in Wroclaw thats got a rep for having the best one too. apparently the fuse in it wasn't busted or something. there was lots of bass, a beautiful wall of sound. two guitars, bass, tarzan playing percussion. and powerful drums. crowd and gira approved, crowd gave thansk and come-backs, crowd leaves, and btw before the show obara with mate sees gira standing in the falling snow behind the club wearing cowboy hat drinking beer and smoking cigar. we said "good evening" and "excuse me" but he said "please, later, after the show" or stuff. so we didn't buy gira a red bull and didn't talk about ableton live or japan but bought us some cool t-shirts, mine has dollar symbol and "holy money holy love" printed. great show |

i never could get into this band, but i'm willing to give them a second try. the first time around the religious overtones were a bit too much for me to swallow... anyway, i'm willing to look past that now. where's a good place to start, obara? what's your favorite albums by them? |

the albums i wanted to come back to right away when i first heard about swans tour were 'die tur ist zu', 'love of life' and of course (?) (maybe it's their most successful/famous one) 'children of god'. those 3 are quite different in mood/style. 'die tur ist zu' sounds in part like my perfect swans concert. 'love of life' has a bunch of strong tracks. it has "songs" on it, as compared to earliest records which are sort of chaotic, loud, industrial....raw sounding. and 'children of god' is the first album i got to hear from them, therefore the first strong impact from about ~18 years ago is still strong. so, that's roughly about what i'd recommend. it really depends on your current musical mood. if you want harsh - go to earliest records. if you wanna go light - start from 1989 and 'burning world', their most accessible album methinks. and, if you don't like female vocals or, specifically, Jarboe's moaning pisses you off - you gonna skip through the 90s albums. and the latest album....it sounds like swans trying to go back to their 80s. i quite enjoyed it on the first listen. there you go |

Was well into Swans in the 90s. Still enjoy them or Angels of Light from time to time. Saw them twice, once in 94 and again in 96. The Great Annihilator is a good one and would be my recommendation as a starting point. Burning World has some good tracks but has a very early 90s dated kind of sound. It makes me think of the bands Extreme or Crash Test Dummies. Love of Life is certainly very good as well as others mentioned. |
