Came here to say exactly this. Would be a Brexit anti-vaxxer by now.

They were so good. Their whole discography is wonderful. I usually find myself listening to the first one most frequently because I like the more freeform psych rock songwriting and eruptions of noise. But the later albums are more focused and consistent.

this looks great but lol at a $250 special edition.

This is extremely Deleuze/Guattari lol. I once heard someone describe music similarly—as sounding either leaky or solid. Leaky being looser, more improvised, more non-linear whereas solid would be the opposite. maybe at root it’s all just Dionysian vs Apollonian.

Masterpiece. Got my copy this week and haven’t listened to much else.

I was there last Friday! No one else was there. Unfortunately we're back on the west coast. Would've be amazing if our schedules overlapped. Go see the Jack Whitten exhibit at MOMA. Best big show I've seen in years.

I did! You could do it with SoundDiver. I did a lot with wave shapes made from piano samples on a record back in the day. After SoundDiver was no longer supported, programming the XT was a lot less easy. 😔

Hahaha. Same. Watched it last night. Was a bit lackluster IMO.
