22I'm just sayin'! The Sunn and Earth stuff really does seem very trite and intentional in comparison.The Classical wrote: Tue Aug 08, 2023 10:29 am The Real Drone Appreciator Has Logged On. Thank You For Your Service.
But I'll vote. I say Earth.

24My sense is that, over the years, they made peace with the fact that it is very much a Scott Walker record with Sunn on it. Not necessarily something they would want to get in the habit of doing, but I don't think there was any regret involved.Bluegum LaBloat wrote: Mon Aug 07, 2023 11:38 amI too recall them saying in an interview after Walker died that he had asked them to collaborate again and they had (in retrospect, somewhat regretfully) refused because it wasn't really a collaboration, Walker just wanted their 'sound' and had used them as hired hands, not in a disrespectful way, but without much or any artistic input. Also, I think it's likely Walker used their performances somewhat as samples, and re-edited at will without their involvement.zorg wrote: Mon Aug 07, 2023 5:53 amSorry I think I misquoted the Sunn guys. I swear I thought they pooh-poohed it contemporaneous to the release as being unrepresentative, and there is still some indication that Anderson was unhappy that they basically played orchestra for Walker and didn't contribute fully to the collaboration with ideas. But I can't find much of anything to show this, and they seemed quite pleased in the interviews I could find.

25Rise To Glory is one of my favorite instrumentals by anyone, ever.

27I like that stuff and all, but I also like the timbral qualities of heavy, distorted guitars.The Classical wrote: Tue Aug 08, 2023 10:29 amThe Real Drone Appreciator Has Logged On.

I need to try that one again. I did not dig it back when I first tried it over a decade ago. I found it less heavy droney than the first albums but less interesting than later ones.enframed wrote: Earth, if just for Pentastar: In the Style of Demons.

28Yeah, I listened to some Horseback the other day and thought 'I love this drone'.

29Hmm, Horseback. I’ll look into it.bigc wrote: Wed Aug 16, 2023 7:17 amYeah, I listened to some Horseback the other day and thought 'I love this drone'. So there you go.
If I’m honest, I mostly listen to Sunn when I lay down to sleep.
