Earth - Sunn Amps and Smashed Guitars Live (1995)


Witness the creation of drone-doom, which, according to Dylan Carlson (the man behind Earth -- I don't have to tell you that, right?) was made to be the ideal music for doing heroin and nodding off to. Despite the album title, only one song here was recorded live, and it's the all-guitar, 30-minute-long, album-opening monolith, "Ripped on Fascist Ideas". The rest are studio tracks from five years earlier, each of which consists of slo-mo Sabbath riffs over (mostly) programmed drums, and one of which ("Divine and Bright") features a haunting, ethereal vocal performance from Kurt Cobain and is one of my favorite songs in the world. (Why are there so many parentheses in this writeup?)

Track listing:
1. Ripped on Fascist Ideas
2. Geometry of Murder
3. German Dental Work
4. Divine and Bright
5. Dissolution 1
