Reviews
- If anyone is selling this cd please contact me. thank you!
- I'm glad I bought this because it's fantastic music. I'm also glad because it appears that it might end up being my retirement fund, based on the current pricing trend.
Possibly the best sounding of all of SWANS/Michael Gira handmade CDs. This one has a fantastic stereo balance to it.
