Move aside, Kid A, this is far and away my favourite album of 2000. Why, you ask? Well...
You know how music can bring you back places? How sounds can reignite smells, impressions, all kinds of memories? How things that were only momentary or of the moment become permanent.
Whenever I listen to Antennas To Heaven I'm back on the 381 bus from Rotherhithe to Waterloo. I'd pass the dodgier parts of Bermondsey. That pub with the sign reading "ACCOMADATION PROVIDED", a clear case for the Queen's English Society. The motor cyclist bleeding on the ground after an accident outside Elephant & Castle station. The man hit by a bus and getting up again like nothing had happened outside the same station. A lot of things happened outside Elephant & Castle station. The skinhead shouting racist filth on the deck below, one evening before the bus reached South Bermondsey station. Not all of these memories are good, but they're memories.
Context: I'd just moved into a cosy little two-storey flat ("maisonette", as they call it in estate agent speak) with my girlfriend at the time, and started a job as a VT assistant in a shoddy two-bit company/soulless international conglomerate (a mere prelude to my current profession as a documentary film editor, I'm glad to say). It was a period of low income for me, of not much in the way of material things, but it was an optimistic time. I got my first iPod for Christmas 2005. It seems a lot of people did, because in January everybody seemed to be wearing these white headphones on the 381 bus. Or the Jubilee Line. Or the Central Line. Or any line, really. These things were everywhere.
Digressions aside, my commute was a long one, and so music was a steady companion, including this rather strange album with a rather strange title that the folks on RYM couldn't seem to get enough of. Turns out long bus rides are very useful for checking out lengthy post rock albums, as this was also the period I discovered Mono and Explosions And The Sky, but Lift Your Skinny Fists was something else entirely. This was one of the last albums that actually taught me one or two things, things I perhaps acknowledged but never seemed *entirely* open to. That a good rock song doesn't need a vocalist. That *rock* music doesn't need a steady verse-chorus-verse structure and can in fact be arranged like a classical piece and still WORK. That samples work in conjunction with heavy guitars. That this sort of stuff can actually move you like nothing you've heard before. That field recordings and other obscure samples can do even more to signify the corruptions of modern neoliberal capitalism than anything Radiohead or Zappa have ever attempted. It's simply one of these albums that simply has to be listened to to be believed, from beginning to end if you can, otherwise the overall effect is tempered.
This is a masterpiece, both on an objective "Does this work as a piece of music"-level, and on a very personal "Did this album accompany me during a very distinctive period of my life?"-one. [First added to this chart: 05/19/2017]
