The sounds! I was ill in bed for a week once last year and all I listened to was Faust IV on repeat. For us, it’s all about the repetition and the experimentation and the cut-ups.
Heavy as fuck but with amazing melodies.” I was at a youth club and I heard it on this banged up cassette deck and I remember thinking, ‘What the fuck is THAT?! I wanna hear it again!’ Despite its commercial success, this is a brilliant album. “When I first heard this album it blew me away. Jonathan is constantly swimming against the tide, and that’s something we respect, admire and try to do ourselves.” The songs are catchy and repetitive with great intelligent lyrics. It’s so fucking cool and so New York and so punk-rock. This is the first album Black Sabbath released, it’s heavy as fuck.
We don’t like doing it, but the closest description we’ve ever got is ‘like reading Richard Brautigan while listening to Black Sabbath’. “People often ask us to try and describe our music, which is the hardest thing to do ever. It’s hypnotic, out there and right up our street.” We love the experimental side to this album and the repetitiveness of it and all the weird sounds they’ve got on there. As it goes, it stops afterĩ minutes, 47 seconds. “Hallogallo, what a tune! It could just go on all day as far as we’re concerned. It’s also pure gentleness and you need that in your life every once in a while.” It’s a spiritual record and opens you up to a new level of perception. It’s one of our ultimate favourites when we get home from tour and want all the madness to stop. They’ve just got that great blend of amazing songs and proper full-on madness! And what a beginning to a record: ‘A child of a few hours is burning to death!’.”Īlice Coltrane – Journey in Satchidananda “TWCPAEB are one of our all-time favourite bands.
