Free Music Notes for Cop/Young God/Greed/Holy Money Album
Free Music Review: Intense Hilarity
Hit: 4 Stars
The grating ambience and aural intensity of much of Swans' early releases actually invites the question of how seriously one should (or can) take them. This double CD combines four such works. COP/YOUNG GOD, particularly, has moments of such enthusiastic (and expressively orgasmic) extremism that listening becomes more an exercise in stifling amazed and delighted laughter than submission in frightened awe. Some of the images are so comically brutal as to be cinematic (try "Cop," in which Gira's hysterical anti-mantra "the HEAT! HURTS! " becomes so poundingly over-the-top it's hilarious, or the structurally similar "Raping A Slave"- -you gotta love it; service with a smile, no doubt). After such raging fire, Swans couldn't help but mellow. The second disc of this release comprises the identikit GREED and HOLY MONEY. Jarboe's presence had a profound effect on Swans; the sound is more spacious and with expanded instrumentation (horns!) and muted vocals the intensity becomes glowing (and glowering) embers. Still uneasy listening, however. Great stuff all around, and they'd never be the quite same again.
