PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE DON'T SELL YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR DREEEEAAAMS

this album clicked for me while i was taking a very lengthy bike ride to my friend's house late at night while it was particularly rainy. i listened to this on the way there and For How Much Longer on the way back. pretty trippy night.

I thought that She is Beyond Good and Evil was on this album, but apparently I'm wrong.

That song is probably the only song of theirs that I am a big fan of. I'd have to listen to the album again to change my opinion on it, but from what I remember it's pretty abstract and inaccessible.

Yep, that was a reissue track that got slapped on the top and I'm pretty sure every release since then has had it. It was, as far as I know, one of three singles of theirs ("We Are All Prostitutes" is the second and another one you should check out if you like their sound in general but find it too abstract). The album is VERY difficult, I agree, but after a healthy diet of dub and noisy rock albums (including some of Mark Stewart's solo output) it starts to feel more and more like home.

I'm surprised this isn't showered by praise yet; it's a top tier album.
