This is all kinds of wonderful Who could’ve predicted that the sun ain’t gonna shine anymore would lead to this ? I’m a big fan of both scott and Sunn O))) seen the latter a few times and would’ve loved to have experienced them perform this . An amazing piece
My copy is exactly as described here, but the letters and O))) logo in the inside of the gatefold are gray instead of red.
Update: SOMA confirmed that this was a misprint that was retired after about 500 copies. Check it here: Scott Walker + Sunn O))) - Soused . The red print is the "general" version
Absolutely love this record. Only issue is that the cover is oversized and doesn't fit into my shelf. Out of nearly 500 records, this is the only one that's too big.
This album is actually very, very amusing and comical. A true piece of (f)art. File next to Arcesia's Reachin' LP, except that the latter one is significantly more "enjoyable".
Worst piece of "music" I've heard in years. Makes me wanna puke. Walkers voice just kills it. I'm a Sunn O))) fan though, maybe it's just not fair to rate it that way. But man ... that voice -.-
