This release provides Michael Gira's side projects The Body Lovers (Number
One Of Three) and The Body Haters (34:13) albums originally released
individually in 1998 in one 2CD set along with additional track.
A regular jewel case edition is available in stores. A deluxe packaging
limited edition (signed by Michael Gira) of 1000, is available through Young
God Records mailorder.
The long awaited re release of Michael GiraÆs (Angels of Light/Swans and
Young God Records head) soundtrack-without-a-film ôpsycho-ambientö
instrumental opus of sonic chaos and wordless lullabies. Compiled, edited,
mangled, fed back, mutated and morphed from high quality recordings of a
dizzying array of musicians using acoustic and electric instruments
-performed in the studio - as well as loops and fragments generated from
these sessions, found cassette recordings, sine waves and drones, live Swans
recordings, electronic noise and the occasional insect, weeping woman, or a
touching recording of a baby in the process of being circumcised. GiraÆs
archive of early (from as far back as 1982) analog synth, tape loop
experiments and ôslabs of soundö mingle and interact here with contemporary
studio performances . Originally composed/recorded in 1998, this prescient
collage epic summed up GiraÆs 15 year (Swans) obsession with music as raw,
mutable sound û alternately dreamy and abrasive, drifting from sweet acoustic
melodies to music concrete in one breath. Sound-source contributions from Pan
Sonic, Deathprod, Origami Rebulika, Swans and many more. The Body Haters disc
contains a new track recorded specifically for this re release. Ultra lush
(and expanded new) artwork by Nicole Boitos.
ô The entire spectrum of sound is covered throughout... simply the most
beautiful piece of music committed to tape I've heard in many, many years
(and quite emotionally uplifting with each listen)à a brilliant step forward
for MG and friendsàHighly recommended to anyone in search of first class
instrumental music. Essential listening for 1998 and many years to come àö û
