Great album. Good Fun.

I agree with you but... it's generally regarded as a complete dog of an album! That said "Do you want my job" on its own is a good enough track to justify any album.

Great to see more of the obscure stuff John. Reminds me of the No Disco days :) Again I've only heard of Kurt Vile but not the other two. So much music, so little time.....

No Disco! Now that takes me back.Uaneen Fitzsimons great Dj and sadly missed.Also Donal Dineen, i listened to his radio show almost every night for 6 or 7 years or more...No Disco was one
of the few music shows that i watched and really enjoyed.Nothing like that on t.v. nowadays!! That's RTE for you..

Have you ever heard this one John (Jadarin)? Side one is majestic especially the vocals but take note it's only bass and drums....



Om - Conference of the Birds on Holy Mountain


Conference of The Birds makes for an apropos soundtrack of apogee and reverence. A clarion call sounding for rebirth ...seductive, liberating, a prayer framed within apocalyptic atmosphere. A brooding lullaby for the sun underscored with allusions to solar-object omens and seraphim arrivals. Respective to our time, the birds are - as is Om's sound - metaphors for the soul seeking transcendental freedom and ethereal resonance.

In terms of head music, drummer Chris Hakius and bassist/vocalist Al Cisneros, the bong-ripping rhythm section of long defunct stoner/doom cultists, Sleep, deliver up a majestic sophomore offering of epochal rhythms and meditative mantras. The opener, "At Giza," is a metaphysical groover carried along by hypnotic bass vibes, sparse drum beats, and Al's splendidly stoned-proselyte, chant-like hymn of intoning esoteric references to ancient religiosity and iconography.

Upon completion of the final stanza, Al's sweet Green bass distortion tidal-waves, accompanied by Chris' laying into the ride cymbal's shoulder, creating a swell of "heavy" matched only by its simplistic brilliance. "At Giza" is a moving, deeply felt spiritual odyssey which recalls "Echoes/Pompeii" era Pink Floyd.

More obscure stuff :) One of my favourite bands.....featuring Jim O'Rourke and David Grubbs.
