A few stand outs (Swimming with the Crocodiles; the reimagined Iodine and Iron; In The Blood; I quite like Low Lays The Devil though production values seem to have pushed their way to the front to make themselves central). Swimming with the Crocodiles notably made it to the setlists of his solo excursions in Sydney (The Newsagency and The Lansdowne). So did Axolotl - just him and a piano, and an amazing experience in intense expression. It may just be me, but the album feels it has the fingerprints of "trying something different" in the productionj of the songs. Which I like and respect in the artist's creative process. Given Andrew's recent solo ventures maybe a period of recalibration to find a newness in his music? It feels more bundled together than threaded. At least there are the consistent themes of good and evil, heaven and hell, tempation and weakness, vulnerability and selfishness. And a bit of a tendency to lean on the wavering character of his voice a little too much in some songs? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love his solo album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm concerned about what this may indicate with my system. Roger Waters etc all sound great. Maybe they were not reviewing the vinyl... I don't know. Yeah I would never go 'hi fi' again, I have spent a lot of money to make a system that makes average recordings sound good when a big Sansui system would have done the same thing for one tenth the bucks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proftournesol Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 So good that I can't be sure why it ever leaves my turntable. Electrelane - Axes. One of Steve Albini s most underrated production efforts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RankStranger Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 so I’m listening to Mogwai in the headphones and it’s a particularly coarse, noisy bit and there’s a sound that sounds like a small kid screaming and I’m absently thinking wow that’s a bit much even for Mogwai and my daughter runs in the room and I take my headphones of and the screaming continues and she’s yelling that my son has cut his finger off with scissors and he hasn’t but he has cut his finger and that’s how my night is going 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
