Chris Morris' Blue Jam
It is actually an ambient album.

To plebs, soundtracks for the blind is just "muh long ass spoopy album", but it is actually a philosophical portrait of life being lived under the threat of nuclear war in post modern society.

At least kids today care about preventing nuclear war. Used to be it was just a threat and people accepted it as "This is life from now on"

None of Swans is at face value

Seer TBK and TGM are a musical attempt at The Divine Comedy.

With the upbeat tempo and Jonathan Higgs' lilting voice, it's easy to mistake this for an optimistic, fun pop album, until you actually listen to the lyrics and realize he's singing about some seriously heavy stuff. Just the first track is about a beheading, for example. It's pretty incredible, actually.

yeah i heard that if you listen to it enough times you can literally predict the future
too bad nobody can force more than one listen

I thought To The Blade was about existencial crisis, though Everything Everything has written heavier stuff before, NASA is On Your side comes to mind

the idea was for old ladies who'd never heard of throbbing gristle in their life to put it on expecting comfy jazz funk and just get fucking decimated

>just get fucking decimated
by mildly strange, somewhat uncomfortable but not very heavy music?

>"We had this idea in mind that someone quite innocently would come along to a record store and see [the record] and think they would be getting 20 really good jazz/funk greats, and then they would put it on at home and they would just get decimated."
that was how Cosey phrazed it. I wouldn't know, I've never actually listened to it, or anything by TG for that matter

I really don't think that, especially since most of the music is improvised and the lyrics are half about stuff he thought would sound cool in a song (The Seer, Toussaint L'Ouverture for example)
>>72056371
can you explain that?
