Derek™ Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Bumping this because Filth was finally reissued, as I'm sure you're all aware. If the rumors are true, White Light should be up next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHerbalLife Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Yes, indeeeeeeed. So looking forward to expanding the amount of Swans on the shelf. That's one helluva collection right there, Nomates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouthofinfinity Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Excellent news! I finally got to see them last Saturday and it was so intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangesix Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'd rather they release one of the albums thats harder to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billynomates Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Ordered Filth, signed, and a nice two sided poster. Here's hoping Soundtracks and Swans are Dead are the next two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omik11303 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'm about to go listen to Soundtracks for the first time. Never checked it out before, but I figured there are enough members on the boards with similar tastes as mine who really dig that album to merit a solid run-through.

Never checked it out before, but I figured there are enough members on the boards with similar tastes as mine who really dig that album to merit a solid run-through. Go through it all, uninterrupted if possible. It's certainly an experience. Excellent news! I finally got to see them last Saturday and it was so intense. I was there too! Everything I expected it to be. The first song they played was a new song, apparently. My friend and I were trying to figure out what it was. Frankie M, I suppose it's called.

My friend and I were trying to figure out what it was. Frankie M, I suppose it's called. If your setlist was anything like mine from a week ago, they actually played at least 3 new songs. And they're all incredible. Next album is going to be so very good, and continue the trend of quality found in Seer and TBK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoToRoBo Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I ordered this without hesitation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were the new songs more short and sweet or more like they have been of late....long with lots of build ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Were the new songs more short and sweet or more like they have been of late....long with lots of build ups. I'm going to say longer. One of them has such a fucking sweet bass groove. It's still so vivid in memory. And who knows if we even got the full version? For example, they played an extended version of Bring The Sun, but didn't play the second half of the 30+ minute track. You just never know with Swans.

radiatorhums Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Going to order Filth on pay day. I'd been contemplating getting one of the boots (which I've heard sound really nice), glad I waited a bit. As long as these reissues keep coming, I'll keep throwing money at YG.

Thanks for the info. I'd like them to do some more song oriented stuff. I feel like the past 2 records had enough droney walls of sound. I love them, don't get me wrong, but the more upbeat songs on To Be Kind were my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davepriz Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 So I am only familiar with the recent Swans albums and was just wondering how their earlier discography compares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHOSTDRONES Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 So I am only familiar with the recent Swans albums and was just wondering how their earlier discography compares. It is much more violent and confrontational with shorter bursts of pulverizing sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHOSTDRONES Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Swans - Filth [1983][Full Album] 1080p HD: http://youtu.be/9d7j_HFp164 Here is the first LP... they have an EP that precedes this, but it is much more No Wave.

jonnyhambone Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I do love Filth and, even more, White Light From the Mouth of Infinity, but Soundtracks for the Blind is where they really hit it for me as far as stuff I'd still put on with any frequency. This album has aged so well and can't wait to pick up on remastered vinyl soon, I hope. Anyone else dig the Angels of Light releases too?!

radiatorhums Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 So I am only familiar with the recent Swans albums and was just wondering how their earlier discography compares. Filth is pretty industrial sounding. For me, Children of God is the first Swans album that seems to touch some of what they're doing these days. It's still aggressive, but there are some mellower songs on there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I really just want to see Soundtracks and The Great Annihilator repressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronological is the way to go, starting with Filth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
