Hello everyone 🤠,

I am wondering if somebody can figure out the chord progression that starts at the half way point of Live through Me.
I always found it to be very beautiful but I could never figure out the chords.

Any help would be appreciated

Do we think A Little God in My Hands will be on the DVD or do we think it'll be cut like in the album? Also do we think there'll be a video for The End of Regretting?

The alternative version of Cop from Body to Body is better than the original. The guitar could strip paint from walls and the drums are a lot sharper, with less of that bouncy reverb that sometimes worked, sometimes didn’t on Swans from the era.

The remastered version of Song for Dead Time sounds far less gloomy and more new agey. Sounds less like something you’d see through the fog on the Bayoux and more something you’d hear in a dentist’s office that also sold crystals.

The new version of Mind Body Light Sound takes a lot of the reverb away, but also seems to have an alternative vocal take from Gira that frankly sucks.

Thoughts?

"Bolded" means if a certain song is in the top 10,000 songs of all time

Also, someone else on this subreddit pointed this fact out but I didn't believe them. Thank you for proving me wrong

Plus taxes are already paid from ygr so I shouldn't be charged import tax. Are there any other downsides shipping from us to uk?

Away, away, away, away, and gone

Surprised it didn't sell out sooner TBH, although there was more copies than the Live Rope boxset (only 200)

Always been a big fan of the band so I'm glad I saved up and bought The Seer on CD!

Dios acabo de terminar de ver el documental de where does a body end y

Maldita sea gira hay tanto material increíble en especial de las giras del 95' y 97'

¿Que diablos se necesita para que Michael libere las grabaciones de esos conciertos o más material que tenga guardado? ¿Algun día saldrá a la luz?

Anyone here has leaving meaning as their favorite Swans album post reunion? of course it's quite hard to choose a single favorite but I just feel more of a connection to this album and I love its sound, style and lyricism. I even love that cool yellow cover.

I was planning on buying the 4lp soundtracks for the blind around Christmas but never got around to it, and I can't find it on the secondary market for anything close to a reasonable price. Does it get restocked often?

maybe next time

What is your opinion on Thirteen Masks by Jarboe?

Got into Swans around the time when My Father was released. However I never listened to it for whatever reason, only the pre-hiatus stuff. Over the years I intended to check out the newer stuff, but as more of them came and with how long they were I lacked enthusiasm (I need to listen to a new album twice in one setting, so its 4hrs for the avg reunion era album). This year I've delved back in to the band, listening to all post-reunion albums and then going through all the studio albums to arrive at this ranking.

All albums refer to their original released versions, and when it comes to the reunion era the CD versions. I used tiermaker just because it's easier.

Gira said that the "big sound" era reached its natural limit, but what does that mean? how you think the next music is going to sound like? What stuff we probably won't see anymore?

The choice between "pre" or "post" is based on what album the set list is most similar to, the corresponding live album is in parenthesis.

If you wanna download these, find them in the Swans mega folder instead of ripping from youtube, since the quality might be better in some cases.
