Just so 'you' know, I have more Swans discs in my collection than any other band. It just happened that way, it was not in my plan. Filth was the first dose I got, White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity was the second. Then came World Of Skin...White Light is gospel.

They're that way with me too, well, one of the bands where I had to hear EVERYTHING I could get my little hands on. So much variety throughout the years, one of those bands that were truly "progressive" in the best sense, I think.

I was listening to this song the first time I overdosed...

[swans1997]

Funny, someone once told me SWANS are the perfect heroin band. Your thoughts?

[greedholymoney]

I wouldn't know about the swans being that because the overdose I had was a complete accident I took to many of my prescription anti-depressents and I had to have my mom drive me to the hospital because they thought I could have seratonin syndrome.

shit , watch yourself there bud.

I've just been getting into this album recently. Opinion seems to be divided on Swans pre & post 'Burning World'. Personally, I like it all & feel glad they went all windswept & epic on our mortal asses!

whoa didnt kno there was a Jarboe version. awesome

[greedholymoney]

As is so often the case with Swans, the live version of this song is far superior to the studio recording. That is not to say the studio recording is bad, however.

@almishti - who needs drugs at any time?

[sveikasveta]

No me canso de escucharlo y de verlo. Swans es musica en carne viva. que fuerza!

[almishti]

Who needs drugs when Swans are playing? Ecstatic dervish music for our era.

[sveikasveta]

IMPRESIONANTE.

SWANS / SKIN.

I love this band too! I like the way they played almost everything like Industrial, Gothic, Noise-Rock, Doom-Rock, Metal, Shoegaze, Soundtrack-music, the list goes and goes... I think "The Great Annihlator" and "Soundtrack For The Blind" are two good examples.
