    Come back to this once in a while, not too much. Easily among the best Gira-helmed side projects. Takes me to a totally free mental zone, which ironically makes it incredible for when I need to be totally focused to get work done.

    Great upload! Thanks for keeping this “project” album in the public consciousness. Gira is prolific genius and this album, with the usual suspects aiding and abetting, is a testament to that. I haven’t heard it in years. Cheers!

    I loved this album when it was released and as a matter of fact I still do. I hope that during the next Swans hiatus - if that’s what this is - that Gira will do a follow up. I know it’s a word I overuse but it’s an effect I get from some of my favorite music. Yes once again - it’s hypnotic and puts me in that Zen state like nothing else.

      You get it - Swans, to me, is about getting into a state of mind as you listen. Certainly with the studio albums (which I always prefer to listen to in their entirety rather than listen to specific songs), but so much more so with the live experience. I last caught them in 2017 touring The Glowing Man / Deliquescence - I always worry that it'll come across as pretentious when I say that it was like I was hypnotised, in some kind of trance, for the nearly 2.5 hour set. I was maybe third row from the stage, on my feet for well over 3 hours, maybe 4+ (including the opening act, which was Thurston Moore and his band (not Sonic Youth) and they created a magnificent cacophony of war sounds, sounds of death and destruction. The perfect canvas for Swans to follow up by atomising everything, carpet bombing our eardrums with sonic nukes. The pain in my legs got pretty severe halfway into their set, but subsided as my mind went somewhere else entirely. Felt like I was under the effects of some psychedelic drug. I started their set with ear plugs, but decided to take them off at some point to feel the full force of their sound. I think my ears rang for 3 or 4 days and it certainly contributed to my burgeoning tinnitus! A spectacular band. Seeing them again tonight, excited for what's to come.

      @@diegosebastian2226 I don't doubt that for a second. When 'The Seer' finally came out after what seemed like an eternity I set my stereo on 'thunderous' and at the end I was extremely close to hypnotized as well. Dazed - absolutely. A mean thought uncontrollably passed through my mind when I read your post - I wonder how Thurston Moore felt being the opening slot for Michael Gira. Ah well - cheat on Kim Gordon and that's what you get. Not to question another mans life choices but Kim Gordon just isn't quite cutting it for you ? Still it's fantastic you caught him on a great night opening for the Swans no less. I have a couple of his albums I would charitably call 'noodling' but I also have a few that are raging electric bliss and you caught him in that mode 👍

The process was similar to what I did with my Body Lovers/Body Haters project. In a sense this is actually The Body lovers #2 of 3. Additional contributions to this piece of music were generously provided by Jason La Farge (strings) Hunter Hunt Hendrix (guitar) Kristoph Hahn (guitar) )and Brian Carpenter (horns)... in addition I mumbled and bleated here and there. Any number of sounds were wrestled from various animate and inanimate sources. This was mixed/mangled/compiled/composed/abused at Seizure’s Palace - Jason La Farge engineer and at Marcata Studio - Kevin McMahon engineer.
