Will it be held in he same reverence as Ulysses in 50 years time?
Up there with anything in the pop/rock canon IMO.
Enjoying the deluxe box set at the moment.

I had a quick listen to the cd version in Tower last week and I loved the sound of the piano plus the first two tracks especially Lake Tahoe; as for the rest...........I didn't buy the vinyl there and then so.....over to you Claus :-)

I like it for some strange reason that I am not sure I can explain.... The last couple of tracks are not as good as the first ones. The duet with Elton is ok but the one with the 50 words for snow is a little tedious. But overall it is great sounding, atmospheric album. I might bring it on my macbook to Fran's, if someone is interested in listening to the JKDAC with mac software?cybot wrote:I had a quick listen to the cd version in Tower last week and I loved the sound of the piano plus the first two tracks especially Lake Tahoe; as for the rest...........I didn't buy the vinyl there and then so.....over to you Claus :-)

On the tt,
As far away from Rock as we know it and all the better for it where everything and nothing happens....totally mesmerising!
Boomkat product review for:
Sunn O))) Meets Nurse With Wound - The Iron Soul Of Nothing
This is an album of Nurse With Wound remixes of Sunn 0))). You shouldn't need any further inducement to buy it, but hey, we'll indulge you...These are NWW versions of Sunn's ØØVOID LP, and first appeared as a bonus disc on the 2008 Japan edition of the album; Stephen O'Malley has now dusted them down for a dedicated vinyl release on his Ideologic Organ imprint. It's a clash of the titans, yes, but the results are more pensive and subtle than you might expect: Stephen Stapleton and Colin Potter zone in on the ambient character of the source material, and bring to it their own expertise in that field: the miasmic drones of Dsnystaxis have more in common with The Caretaker or GAS than metal, while 'Ash On The Trees' brings Pete Stahl's imploring vocal - virtually inaudible in the original track - right to the fore, only to submerge it in a swamp of mercilessly reverbed SOMA guitar, smashed glass and digital shrapnel. If, like us, you have a soft spot for Nurse but have spent the last two decades craving something as considered, engrossing and creepily beautiful as their '88 masterpiece Soliloquy For Lilith (also O'Malley's favourite release of theirs, apparently), then it's fair to say your time has come. Jaw-droppingly good.
