Shackleton Shackleton - Music For The Quiet Hour / The Drawbar Organ

[Guest Georges Bataille]

I just came here to say how much I love this release.

 

*crawls back under rock*

[syd syside]

Part 2 on this, is simply some of the most colorful music I have heard this year.

[Soloman Tump]

AOTY so far! Although its not really an album is it.

[Redruth]

technically no. for all intensive purposes yes

[chassis]

So the verdict is its good then?

[beerwolf]

Music for the Quiet Hours has some parts I don't like, but all in all it's money well spent.

I'm pretty sure the Pitchfork review says summat about the pricey boxset. Bollocks. It cost £22 for 3 vinyls, a full cd and original artwork book. Thats £22 well spent imo.

It does indeed - I nearly spat out my drink laughing when I read that. Three pieces of vinyl each in their own picture sleeves, bespoke box and artwork book plus the CD amounting to two albums worth of material. £22 for that is expensive? Perhaps there's an extreme exchange rate up their on Planet Pitchfork.

 

By the way, am I the only one that prefers, by some long way, the cohesive and intoxicating experience of "Music For The Quiet Hour" over the still excellent "Drawbar Organ EPs"? I know some people don't take to Avenged Tenfold's spoken word embellishments, but I rather like them and find they compliment rather than obfuscate.

There both amazing! find it difficult to say which I prefer, l have listened to the draw bar ones a lot more as feel like the quiet hour needs the right mood and setting and should be listened to properly all the way through but when i do listen to it, it still blow my mind!

The organ is a bit too much sometimes, but over all, it's a solid release for heavy listening sessions. I really like the parts with his voice, works for me.

I just biked in here to say that 'music for the quiet hour' has unexpectedly become one of my favorite pieces of music. I love the slow ferocity with which it moves. I find that when I put it on, I am drawn into a state of attention and non-attention, and then suddenly find 20 minutes have passed. Big ups 2 shackleton.

[Salvatorin]

ummm....listening to this album in sensory isolation...with or without some mental augmentation...is like being strapped down in a transdimensional space pod and entering a deconstructivist realm where the past present and future is laid out before you. It really takes you on a journey.

 

I can't help but think of this music as containing actual underground counterculturish legitimacy that would be very hard to appropriate for coolness's sake. If you vibe with it, you just do, and its a great experience.

[Salvatorin]

WOW. This looks awesome. Not sure how I feel about a large-ish dose of Vengeance Tenfold though. That guy should go hang out with Spaceape on an island and leave me alone with the bongos.

lol & RIP spaceape

Insanely good still to this day

His most recent eps are a next level up from this, IMO.

[kirm]

Yeah Shackleton always brings it, although just realised I've not given his latest one, behind the glass, many listens at all.. must go back to that. 

[species8472]

was always a buy on sight artist for me up until his last vocal collab albums. the vocals are just bad.

[usagi]

an underappreciated treasure chest of dark wonders.

[Salvatorin]

one of the very best
