Annnnnnd yet another mix. Not too many updates on here as of late but this blog isn't completely forsaken. Yet. This mix is mostly tracks that I've been digging lately that I grabbed from other blogs (mostly what you see on the right column) as well as old favorites and some solid standby's. It's called '+/-' and it's aight.

Swans - Die Tür Ist Zu

Preview - Ich Sehe Die Alle In Einer Reihe

Despite the lack of new material, 'Die Tür Ist Zu' (The Door Is Closed) is one of my favorite Swans releases. While at first glance it seems to be slapped together or more of an odds & ends release than an album (which ultimately is the case), that shouldn't take away from the fact that it is extremely well compiled from start to finish and a unique testament unto itself. Clocking in at 55 minutes, it's a full figured beast that has an ebb & flow which gives it a stand alone experience despite the compiled nature and availability of tracks elsewhere (whether previously released or released in different forms). While Swans has always managed to get under my skin in a disturbing & sinister way (that I do enjoy, mind you)... there's something about this release that does it so effectively I keep coming back to it (though it may very well be Gira in German which has me hook, line and sinker).
