Ive seen this in a charity shop, and assuming nobody else is going to buy it (A fairly safe assumption), i was just wondering what its like? Worth getting for £6?

hmmm, i dunno... i think it's one of my least favourite lee ranaldo albums (w/ zeena parkins, william hooker). for a completist i'd say maybe yes, but definitely not essential in my opinion. if you can find them i'd buy these first:
east jesus, text of light (any), drift DVD, amarillo ramp, new life after fire, envisioning, scriptures of the golden infinity... i better stop here. there's a lot more though. |

What about that Text of light 3cd thing? It looks tremendous but it is pretty dear. Bear in mind im sure i'll never find many of those other albums in a record shop (that i know of), and id rather get them in a record shop than download - im the new generation of self righteous indie purist you understand. but thanks for yr advice. |

oh, i really love the text of light 3cd set... but yes, it's not cheap.
you could get the single cd on starlight furniture instead though, that's a lot cheaper but i like it somewhat less than the 3cd set... i also really liked the text of light tour cd-r that they sold last year at their gigs. yod.com had some copies for sale as well, but their mailorder database has been offline for months now. i think i only started buying lots of sonic solo albums about 5 years ago and the vast majority of it has been online. what i've bought from record stores is probably no more than 10-15 in all those years. i imagine you'd have more chance in london than where i live though. |

I'd say fucking grab it man, if you don't like the wild stuff then you won't like this but this is the power gnarl, a peak into the plasma furnace...Hooker is such a powerful drummer...I bought my copy of the 3xCD ToL from some guy who had a big record table at the Red Rose in Finsbury for 20 quid...its definitely worth it, think of the stupid shit you spend a 20 on. Shit here in NYC you spend that on a couple of drinks with a date.
I wish I could remember why I didn't go to that first Tol show at Tonic. maybe it was just advertised as Tol without anyone's names associated with it? I saw the gig at the Knitting Factory that summer which was probably my favorite of all the ToL shows I've been able to see - maybe because there was plenty of seating - the place was half full - and for some tragic reason my D3 didn't record. |
