    crazy how just two songs from this band are more intense and entrancing than most band's entire albums

    Enjoying the accompanying graphics quite well! Also had this on in the background and didn’t notice when the Beggar Lover started, they blended so well lol

    Damn, did not realize Beggar Lover’s opening was the end of The Glowing Man, just knew it was familiar!! Thanks for this!

    Visuals on-point. Swans is the greatest band I ever saw live.

    Glowing man > the beggar lover (three)

    • @icarusmachines
      @icarusmachines  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      i fully agree, the glowing man is one of the bands greatest achievements, and while full of amazing moments and atmosphere and texture, and it is certainly nothing to scoff at, beggar lover (three) can feel a slightly haphazard. and while the scattered collage like flow and structure is probably part of the point, it can be a little unfulfilling as a whole. a style they did better on an album like soundtracks for the blind

    This video is too short, you simply can't just directly jump in Glowing Man song without having an hour of getting ready to it by other songs that are meant (IMHO) to be played before. Same applies to the 44 minutes long "The Beggar Lover (Three)" without listening to the other 9 songs that comes before.
    Anyways it's awesome.

    • @icarusmachines
      @icarusmachines  ปีที่แล้ว +9

      this is fair, i agree both pieces work best in album context (although i think they can also be admired on their own), was mostly curious about how it would sound to combine since beggar lovers starts with the same drone glowing man ended with and i needed to scratch that itch, thank you

    • @ceef8688
      @ceef8688 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      they could have been made this way. I don't think the other 9 songs are any prerequisite. A band lets their hair down and experiments, and they craft studio songs in a different way. After Soundtracks for the Blind, Gira decided it wasn't worth blending all these snippets to make some bogus narrative out of a bunch of jam sessions.

      yeah honestly they should have just put the entire trilogy before The Glowing Man so you can get the "full experience"

    these visuals remind me heavily of Stan Brakhage.

    I can't tell if this is the same as the album version. What's the difference other than the order/mix?

    • @icarusmachines
      @icarusmachines  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      there’s no real difference, just putting these two tracks together. also i spliced in the ending of the song leaving meaning at the end of beggar lovers to make it feel more final

    what caused it? Was it Pink Floyd? Why do people put children, or even the sound of babies crying, in their recordings? And you're like, "that was annoying, what a terrible decision," as it plays again on repeat. I guess these musicians would get more popular and lose their cred if they cut the baby noises. But Throbbing Gristle, Swans, Legendary Pink Dots, Current 93, Aphex Twin, and more... why?
