Public Castration is a Good Idea

My first SWANS record which I picked up yesterday and
listen to last night around 3:00 AM while drinking. That
shit is seriously fucked up. I like it.

a great record, actually i happen to be listening to Swans
are dead (2 live discs, theyre last tour and a 1995 tour). i
have several swans albums:

filth\body to body\job to job
forever burned
soundtracks for the blind
swans are dead
great annihilator

all excellent by the way, my favorite is soundtracks for the
blind.

not to mention it would be wrong to involve an audience in
such unsavoury and uncivilized event even if they would like
to see it (which I don't really doubt tbh).

This album sounds like the freaking world is coming to an
end. Hypnotic.

it still is far from a good idea though.

i've been wanting to hear Swans for some time now.
i think i'll try 'soundtracks for the blind'. is it a good
starting point?

soundtracks is their best, imo

great annihilator second best

also, white light and love of life are good ones

I got Fith/Body to Body, Job to Job this morning and I am
listening to it now. Crazy good. In the few short days that
it has been since I've first heard SWANS, I've become
somewhat obsessed with this incredibly powerful, frightning
music.
Anyone out there who enjoys extreme and challenging music
(such as AE's Confield or late-era Coltrane) would do him or
herself a favor in at least being exposed to this stuff.
Check it out!!

i started off with soundtracks for the blind and it worked
but i was already into experimental music somewhat, if your
not, id start with something like forever burned or white
light from the mouth of infinity(although hard to find
nowadays)

i'd say i'm into experimental music a bit...
will check.

if you dig the more subtle approach on stuff like
soundtracks, check out gira's new group angels of light.

body lovers/haters are good also.

chemical castration might be good. To never want or desire.

Ok, it's official - I am now of the opinion that "Public
Castration" is the greatest live rock document of all time,
and one of the most powerful rock albums I have ever
experienced (this coming some 7-8 days after i first laid
ears on SWANS).

So, if you are interested in giving SWANS a shot, i
suggest (HIGHLY suggest that is) starting with this live
album. Other SWANS fans may disagree, but given the
overwhelming and trancendent power of this album, you are
probably best initiated by fire.
