Nearly-matched sparse tones quietly ringing kching hring hring in interference, stretches of repetition vs. polyrhythm reminiscent of Steve Reich, and blue progressions chilled over ice. Excellent.

Brilliant performance overall—not to downplay the other performers or to downplay his other appearances, Otomo shines as genius here!

This album is incredible, astounding, top-notch. My original copy left long ago—and this repressing is not very good. With my setup and the way I treat records, records typically never get old—decades and innumerable plays later they are still strong,... See full review

Jute had a fretboard converted to quartertones ... which allows for some very alien-sounding metal. I've been listening to this repeatedly, becoming familiar with initially foreign chord progressions, then blissfully drowning in the chaos facilitated... See full review

Don't konw about that, but NOT4(BUT 5) is apparently a spin on Sonic Youth Not 1 (But 2)--which was probably a spin on something else ;-)

Buddhists do not mind if Canadians listen to sacred sounds without realizing it! Not in the least! And, Buddhists do not mind if musicians use sacred mantra in their music, as long as they use the actual sound and not something jumbled.

However, Acid... See full review

What a record! This one makes me utterly happy. It was not easy to get into, and at first listen was a quick "sell." This has utterly turned around. Instrumental metal shredding with some vintage guitar sound [not into metal except Black, so I... See full review

This album still takes me back to places I had never visited. This pressing, however, sounds like garbage! An authoritative repress is yet desired.

So many interference patterns that as you move about the house, the tempo changes, while the pitch remains constant. Beautiful, but I only wish my dreams were this calm.

Slow, hard, brutal, and obliteratingly negative. I've loved this album since always; it's medicinal to listen to again at any time. For literary types, this might be a sonic counterbalance to Pessoa ... hard to imagine something more stripped down... See full review

Seventeen years later it's sharp as it ever was but only deepens in funk, increasingly so upon every listen ad infinitum. Core. This is an extremely annoying album that is harmful to both you and your environment. It is taxing and wonderful.

Some real old-school SWANS vibe here, but not in a copycat way. Good real loud! Stoked!

Worst piece of recording I've heard in a long time. Total waste of time. By the end of the first side I'm already sold. Very nice gesture.

If your copy has a mirror image of the cover it is a unique release and you should submit it to the database instead of making a comment. Cheers

Good call on comparing the barcode #s. "9 oz. quarter" would be a pretty good title too ;-)

This record is amazing. The cover is also beautiful, and fitting to the music. However the "old style hardback jacket" is too large for a normal poly slip, and does not leave enough room to get the record in and out without probable bunching of the... See full review

It looks evil or ironic, yet is in earnest. Studio quality, set beyond Heaven and Hell, wherein Satan has resumed his original place in the celestial hierarchy and all has been restored as One. Horrifying.

When I used to DJ I rarely played a set without "The Lick"; frequently it would be my opening track. I found very few tracks during this time that provide escalation quite like this one does ... I bought it because over headphones I thought it was... See full review

This was a masterpiece when released on CD; on wax it is unreal. Invite it to push the limits of your soundsystem and let it wreck your home.

A compilation of masterpieces absolutely, but this is not "dark ambient." Whatever it is, though, thank goodness Type is reissuing these on vinyl! And Type does call these "dark ambient" - times change.

Would be great live, very well put together, enjoyed my first listen, but subsequently it just reminded me of easy listening.
