Mahakali is excellent; in fact, its probably Jarboe's best solo record IMO. Its very dense sounding; almost Children of God-era Swans intense. As for Swans reforming, its fine by me. While I like Angels of Light and Gira solo up to a point, there's always something that I find a little bit unsatisfying about their output. |

Children of God is an absolute masterpiece.
Saying that, I've only heard CoG, Filth and Cop. Swans are a band I've been meaning to delve into more as they seem like a very rewarding band. |

^Swans have one of the most consistent discographies ever. Listen to all of them, seriously.
I'd be glad if they reformed. That Angels of Light stuff kinda bores the crap out of me. |

This is great news.
I remember randomly listening to The Great Annihilator years ago, and being completely blown away. |

I'm o.k. with it. I assume a Swans reunion basically means a Gira/Jarboe reunion these days, even if that's not the original band. They are certainly capable of doing some new material worth listening to. I'm sure Sonic Youth and Einsturzende Neubauten would both be getting back together about now if they hadn't forgotten to break up...

Anyway, back to Swans, 1997 interview with Michael Gira...

On topic though while I'd be interested in seeing them live (Gira is STILL one of the most intense people I've ever seen, and I've met Jarboe a few times in town and she's almost as intense as he is) I just don't know how I'd feel about them doing new material....maybe with the right backing musicians...
I guess I'm one of the few on here that really enjoyed his Akron/Family backed records.

I enjoy the latest AOL records aswell.
New material from Gira is always welcome, no matter whatever name he choose to release them under, even though "swans are dead" Saw Swans live back i ´95, and that´s one of the best concerts I ever been too. Thanks for the interview, Blunderbuss. Good stuff! |
