Punishment...is what I deserve for not hearing this until my 64th year.
9 tracks / 45min. 1992.
I do love these Tesco packages - cards / plastic bag, etc.
I suppose this is/was the first vinyl release. I'm loving how the tracks segue, and how they feel of a piece. This is powerful shit. It's beautifully layered yet filthy sounding. "Harsh and bleak" said HongKongGoolagong in the excellent OP of this thread.
I like that the vocals / samples are mysterious and indiscernible, mostly.
A piano singalong to end side 1? 😂 But they make it sound scary.
And then something lush to open side 2. Which devolves into a sinister ambiance. Fucking brilliant. Destination Death - what a centerpiece!
That segues into a related / sister piece - this album arc is incredible.
Genocide Organ on downers?
Track 7 goes on for much longer than what discogs etc states.
Track 8 continues the bleak ambient vibe. Fucking wonderful. I'm an instant Grey Wolves fanboy.
So side 2 of this vinyl is quite different from side 1, but it all fits and flows fantastically.
Track 9 ends this superb album in metronomic / squealing style.
Fuuuuck!!
