Classical's reaction makes me curious to hear the record. I shall give them fair-shake#2 for getting border stomped.

The record is so much a studio creation (at least that's what it seems like to my ears), it seems like some of weird, subtle bits and transistions would be lost in the live translation...

I am currently culling my record collection. It's been very easy for the most part. That was until I saw this album. I’ve listened to it three times now. "Do I want to keep this record? Do I like this music?"

I just don't know. I guess I'll keep it.


What a strange record.


Not crap?

2 yrs later and I finally realized (well I realized it a few months ago, but still) the Desert Fathers record reminds me of Cacophony by Rudimentary Peni...not the music necessarily, but the weird voices, the sort of narrative, the way that I can't tell if one song has finished and another started, the hard to describe weirdness that sort of covers the whole album.

The Desert Fathers record is still baffling, still not crap. They need to put another record out.

oh. I thought i was voting for the actual desert fathers, not some band. so minus one for not crap and add one to ?

Three years later, I realize I'm liking the band who was just all-snare-drum in Montreal, and wishing I would have listened to the guitar more somehow.
