Re:swans
Yeah... the SWANS where a great band. I haven't listened to them in years
but I'm gonna go home and dig out some of their records and give'm a
listen.
Thanks for the reminder.

Hi, all...
I just wanted to mention something great that I've just this month run
across. For a long, long time I've been familiar with the band Swans. But's
it's only been recently that I have picked up some of their recordings. I
had to write to the list to let anyone who's interested in incredible,

cannot stress to everyone how wonderful and amazing this music is. I would
also recommend any of the recent work by Swans leader Michael Gira. Two
great Swans-related recordings, just to give you a couple, are:
Soundtracks For The Blind and Michael Gira's Drainland recording. Here's a
