Formless - Mourning Beloveth

[Eoin McLove]

Interested to hear what it'll be like without Frank on guitar.

[Pentagrimes]

Barry White? They should have him singing the clean parts.... Smooth

Sure they already have Joe Dolan

I'm re-reading Disgrace by J.M.Coetzee. I read it I suppose it must be 24 or 25 years ago and I can remember nothing of it. It is really, really good. I think Mr. Moore read this while writing the lyrics for A Disease for the Ages as The Sickness has been *ahem* "influenced" by passages here 

I think I'll stick that LP on next in fact.

I had A Murderous Circus on in the car earlier. It's been a long time since I've reached for it. The drum sound and the overall mix of the album is jarring. Black Album drum production times 10 and pushed to the very front of the mix with guitars and bass much lower. The bass drum just bashes your head in, even in the quieter moments. Dunno how they let that get through but despite the weird sound of the album I still think the songs make it worth the effort. Was there mention of an LP version a few years ago? Imagine if they remixed it with the guitars and bass up front in the mix. It would be interesting to hear at least, even if I think an album's flaws have to be taken into consideration as a part of the experience. The production certainly sets it apart if nothing else, and I'm looking forward to spending more time with it again

It's definitely the MB album I've listened to the least, and by far. Might take myself a ringside seat for a listen later today.

I resumed the AMC listening session on the way in to work. Fuck, it's a great album. So many brilliant parts throughout.

Must go back to it. Always disliked it but The Apocalypse Machine was great live.

It's the only album without an LP release.
Gaping hole in the set, like.
