So now that the trilogy has been completed and we had enough time to process it all...
1) What's the meaning behind these three albums? Is there some sort of message which goes through all of them and we have to put puzzle pieces in place? Why are they a trilogy?
2) How did you find them? Which one was your favorite and why? Favorite songs?
3) Do you like 2010's Swans more than 80'-90's Swans or vice versa and why? What do you think of 2010's line-up? Do you miss Jarboe?
4) What's the future for Swans/Gira? Considering they're now on their last tour with this line-up. What kind of future would like to see? What do you think is realistic?
5) Any additional Swans thoughts, inputs, live concert experiences, merchandise, questions, comments...
(you don't have to answer all the questions lol, it was just a little help notice to start the discussion)

1)
>the seer
hell
>to be kind
earth
>the glowing man
heaven
2) I actually like the glowing man the most. For some reason it didn't bore me as much as the others, and was more subtle and atmospheric. I hate to be kind, does the least to justify its length.
3) Haven't listened to old swans yet.
4) I hope they get even more atmospheric, the sensitive side of their work is the best imo
5) I think its interesting how the album covers in the trilogy look like shit in digital form, but look amazing on cd/vinyl.

>>68755236
>1
I agree with the Apocalypse theory
>2
a.)Through /mu/
b.)To Be Kind because it had the best tracks
c.)Lunacy, A Little God In My Hands, The Glowing Man
>3
80s-90s swans because there was more material. However, I still like new swans.
>4
Swans will release their next album in 2019. It'll probably only slightly more experimental and critics won't like it.
I'd like to see some more neo-psychedelia like there was on Love Of Life
>5
No.

"The Seer", as in the title of the album, just comes from Gira shouting "I see it all, I see it all" during some live show because he though it sounded cool and in theme and feel of the song they were playing. The sound of the album was also shaped based on the band not wanting to do something that sounded anything like Angels of Light like their previous release. I mean, maybe there are some overarching themes, but it's certainly not a concept album.

Does /mu/ like him? Favorite project? I've heard his tentet and Tales Out of time, both impressive efforts. Don't be fooled by the Machine gun meme.

What does that mean? Machine Gun is very good and important.

People often dismiss Peter's works 'cuz they have only heard one of his most abrasive works, such as Machine Gun.

Ah fuck, I left in an [embed]. Oh well.
What have you been working on lately, /comp/? I'm finally making headway on my string trio, which is good because it needs to be done a week from Monday. I'll post my wip here later today.

I only come to /mu/ about twice a year, see knowing but hip-hop, rap and indie rock and immediately leave so it's nice to see something related to classical music. Are threads like this popular? Are the pieces of music people post any good?

Huge David Crosby fan, but seriously go to bed grandpa.
Kanye does not have the talent in his fingers or in his vocal cords. His talent is strictly in his musicality and overall love and admiration for music. Much like Crosby, he just... gets it. I would have thought that would be completely apparent to somebody that also built a career in the industry.
Like, "Runaway" for example doesn't really rely on much in the way of sampling. It's an original Kayne West song that is as full of as much emotion as fucking "Guinevere". Seriously, get over yourself David Crosby, Woodstock was a lifetime ago. Write some new music you putz.

I can't take a picture right now but I have a strat-style Jay Turser and holy fuck it's bad. It has shocked me on multiple occasions, the fretboard is warping, the tone is god-awful...never buy a Jay Turser, even just because it's a cheap practice guitar.

It looks like Death Grips took a melody from Pokémon and used it as their own. Damn...

hi guys. I've been browsing this board for about 6 months. I've been listening to music seriously for a few months before that - in the sense that I started listening to full albums and moved past pink floyd and such. I would say I'm probably at like 200 albums or something. here's my problem: my taste remains very pleb tier. I know I'm a pleb simply because of my library, but I can barely move past /mu/ core in terms of taste. My favorites remain the smiths, modest mouse, and radiohead. Also I love a lot of /mu/ core albums - aeroplane, yankee hotel, remain in light, low end theory, etc. What's the best way for me to develop my music taste?
pic related is a chart I took from here I've been working through somewhat.
also just as a side note thanks for making this board a nice place to be. (hurr durr op is a fag /mu/ sucks.) idk man, I just feel like being a little nice.

also: how to make my own charts? I am a super pleb sry. I have a macbook air if that matters.
>>
Work to refine, not to develop. If you like an artist, go deeper into their discography, related artists and the genre. Eventually you'll listen to more obscure stuff, and you'll likely like it as much as /mu/core often.
Jumping on this thread a bit for a different reason. I've listened to maybe half the albums on that chart. /mu/core has never struck me generally as particularly appealing. Is there any real reason to listen to all the albums? Are they truly "classics" or only in the mind of a approx. teenage music board? Which in your opinion are the stand out ones (especially if you don't like many)?
>>
>>68754407
OP here, I kind of just think of it is a good compendium of a lot of objectively good music. People love to rag on 4chan for being a bunch of underage weeb virgins, but I've found on boards like mu, o, etc. people actually know a lot about the respective interest.
