this vinyl pressing sounds exquisite; the music gets to breathe in ways its digital version doesn't allow for. The Empty World, The Caterpillar, Wailing Wall and Dressing Up are highlights in an album stacked with them.
This is a great album, better than I remembered it. I know I'm at odds with most people here, but I find this way more listenable than the remaster of Pornography I just purchased as well. Rather than dwell in a Martin Hannett-period echo chamber of drones (if I want to hear this, anything from Factory from that period does it infinitely better), this recording finds Bob alone with very little band input, tripping his stones off. There's some hope and humanity here. It's still dark, but the walls are paisley and I likey.
The b-side disc is rough, but it's archivally important, fascinating and fascinating EXCEPT Bob remixed Ariel. it's slower and he must have been embarassed by the lyrics, which is the only reason I can see for him adding ridiculous amounts of reverb all over it. It sounds like mud, the track is also slower than I remember it. I pulled out my cd-r burn of demos and I am correct in this. Seek it out, if you don't already have it.
That being said, the 2nd disc is a great alternative Top and I would recommend it to anyone interested in the transition between their dark era and Head on the Door, or to Siouxsie fans, as this was Bob's "night project" while recording Hyaena during the day. Fueling the sessions was a mix of cocaine, alcohol and mushrooms that nearly destroyed RS and creatively annihilated Lol Tolhurst forever (he contributed melody to Caterpillar and three others during these sessions but probably didn't play on any of them).
If you're like me and love the sound of an artist's mind fragmented by psychosis all over slabs of vinyl (Syd Barrett, Ian Curtis, Skip Spence, Lou Reed, Peter Hammill, et al) then this is your Cure.
And then they blew it all by winning the best British band in 1991.
Still, I'm probably the only one who can sing the whole lyrics to "Shake Dog Shake" at work and get sent home?
The Goth-Father?
You betcherass!
They WERE MY PET BAND!!!
