Angels of Light Sing 'Other People'

I recently heard Michael Gira had reformed the Swans and with his solo Record (read: handmade fund raiser/cd/art book/dvd) sold out (and I missed out) I thought I would just have to bust out this Lp. Featuring Akron/Family as his backing band and wait for the latest helping from the Swans... Tasty, Tasty.

Midlake "The Courage of Others"

Another highly anticipated record. While not necessarily a let down, this has only one tempo or mood. Even so, it is painfully beautiful. A delight to listen to. Just don't expect The trials of van occupanther.
