Sorry for the double post...

I'm listening to Live '77 now... absolutely amazing. I can't believe I dismissed it initially.

what can I say really, i don't feel like words would be adequate.

I know jackhammer has got this for review in one of his threads, and I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, one man's droning noise is another man's Mozart, but I really think Les Rallizes Denudes at their best (Live in 77/Heavier Than A Death are the same recording?) pack such a wallop. They can just wipe your brain clean and really f*cking depress you lol. I don't know.

They are really what 'Metal Machine Music' would sound like if all the believers were true/ if it wasn't pretentious sh*te

It works on the same noise principles as Merzbow sometimes combined with that strung-out otherworldy drone of the VU when they were cool. It just needs to be listened to so loud

When does screeching noise fueled by ganja smoke become pretentious? :crazy:

Nothing happens - sonically, musically, thematically. It's just some tones and feedback. Which is kind of interesting for about 60 seconds, but 70 minutes? f*ck off. Unenjoyable, self-indulgent sh*t of the first order. To me :)

Actually I think it's great for parties, especially ones where you would prefer the dip****s your female friends bring to be weeded out.

:bonkhead:

lol. LISTEN TO THIS BAND

I have and I reserve that for orgies.

Only have Live '77 but it's evidence enough to prove that this band are entirely worthy of the praise being bestowed upon them in this thread. Basically, it's great music. There’s just something so serenely meditative and hypnotic in the way the bass anchors such unrelenting torrents of raging feedback, especially for the length of time that most of the songs last for. Plus the songs are pretty damn hooky too. Now I need more... thinking 'Blind Baby Has Its Mothers Eyes' maybe, simply for that ridiculous title.

Is '77 the one to begin with?
