Reality Bath should be mandatory listening really. The most expansive sound I suspect has ever been recorded.
ReplyDeleteWow that is quite an accolade.
DeleteI did really like it then - haven't played it in a while though.
LIstening again, it is a great album. Lot of Joy Division in there but with a kind of spectacular supersaturated sound that is much less constrained and inhibited. Joy Division if they grew up in Texas rather than Manchester.
DeleteI've always assumed that the sound they achieved was semi-accidental, circumstantial. But there really is nothing else even close it to it. It's genuinely alien - the guitars sound like a colony of weeping pterodacytls.
