From: Mark P, youamwho@yahoo.com Subject: Re: new album Date: 2/6/2002 12:39:59 PM To: MBaroneO@aol.com seance@lists.no-fi.com Just got my copy today ... six and a half days from order placement to mailbox ... Whammo RULES! I give you guys ALL the credit in the world for yr valiant efforts and yr never ending instinct to hunt the good hunt but this was one heck of a painless transaction. Sorry, I'm done hunting! Okay ... headphones are grafted to me noggin as I type ... only up to the AMAZING (Kev,all y'all ...)After Everything which is now shimmerimg around in my head .... albiet this being a poingant song for me personally ... it's gut wrenching! Not exactly tear inducing but it is kinda' sadly beautiful. Nobody can write em like Steve can! "After everything now this happens, it's not a grand illusion it's a stupid little trick, the show must go on, these people have paid, yr standing in the wings feeling kinda' sick" ...so TRUE!!!!!!! I've only heard the "radiotronics" between track one (which is BRILLIANT) and two and tracks two and three, which really is just a guitar devicery trick anyway ... Track one ...Numbers ... this song sucked, I thought ... whilst only having the single! MAN ... it takes on an ENTIRELY new demension as an elpee opener! It's got that "Destination/Pharoah" vibe, anybody think that? Only to me it congers up images of a Major Tom kinda doomed character out "there" floating somewhere ... lost and lamenting, pissed at wot shoulda' been, pissed even worse for wot is for some others and not for theirself ...I'm up to Esmarelda's communon at the cemetary ...this one has tears in my eyes ...cemetarys do that for me! ... anyway, Numbers ... that female automotonic voicey thing at the end is just so bloody cool ...kinda like a female HAL ...ah well ... I'm digging this album HUGELY ... druggy enough a statement for ya, Denise? ;-). I remember at the Mart show a year last Autumn the talk about this being delayed over mixdown problems ... I think Tim got it right on this one ... not as "muddy" ... not quite ... muddy as Baal anyway ... it's murky but it's murk for murk's sake ... murk that evokes and somewot provokes after everything, heh ... so lemme go on bein' evoked at and maybe I'll end a bit provocative afterall ... got a feeling this is one heck of a synonomis record, kids! Can't wait to be on my eighteenth listen to this! I'm up to Chromium ...Mart! "Jags and riches" ... "Morning programs w/fake suntans" ...yeah, this is a pissy album ... I LOVE IT! "All those colours bring you 'round" ... digging this HUGELY! Glad I'm not standing by my thoughts of a few weeks back, I wasn't jumping up and down over this release ...Radiance is fading out and I'm smiling ... got a mirror over there, I can see! Reprieve ... oh man ... there're some serious guitars on this track, the fadeout solo in the left speaker, oh man ... but Steve's lyrics ...again very poignant ...we've all lived this stuff, maybe that's why. "When you're gone, no more tracks for me to run on..." later ...m gonna go listen for good now, see ya! --- MBaroneO@aol.com wrote: > Hello, > > My review of AENT.... > > The Church are on a different astral plane than just about everybody > else. > They have evolved into a truly unique sounding entity.... ===== Sleep Well ~ Don't Burst http://www.mitchworldusa.net __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
