GENOCIDE ORGAN

Death Zones has that long drawn and grinding atmosphere that fits the concept perfectly but also makes it difficult to digest. For me, listening to it on LP has the effect that I have a hard time remembering any standout tracks when the record is through. I'm thinking about getting the CD version, as I have a feeling that listening in a different way might open the album up more for me.

Yeah, I think you're right - there are no 'stand-outs' or 'big hits'. Some I prefer more than others, for sure, but nothing that will be in their 'canon', I'd say. I bought both formats, but can't say I listen to the LP that much. For the forthcoming ones I just went for the CD and the Osaka LP. Doesn't seem vital to have both formats anymore.

That sounds like a lot of effort just to try and like something

I enjoy listening to it best as two separate discs, the more ambient first disc and the harder second disc. Overall I think it is a good release but I have spent a disproportionate amount of time with it this year because of going to see them in Japan.

Didn't say I didn't like it, rather that each LP side feels like one massive block rather than a collection of single tracks to me. I'm just pondering if maybe some of the tracks that are in the middle part on one of the LPs might benefit from being listened to independently from the whole and if perhaps listening to tracks like that could also benefit my perception of the DLP as a whole. I do tend to listen intensively to one thing for a while rather than shop around. Just my listening habits.

Challenging music isn't easy.
