Good Morning Captain  lyrics: http://www.songmeanings.net/artist/view/songs/9939/ album info http://www.discogs.com/Slint-Spiderland/release/369276 My Review An amazing experience, I put on this album for the first time in the hollow of a writing night and have been overplaying it ever since. This album is incredibly hard to digg up so grab it before it dies, and for the love of god search for the lyrics. External Review Unheard of by many, revered by almost all those that own it, Slint's second (and last) album is regarded as one of the most influential alternative records ever released. Brian McMahan's primarily spoken vocals offer a haunting juxtaposition to David Pajo's (later of Tortoise and Zwan) jaggedly ornate guitar playing, with the lyrics seemingly having little connection to the stop-start syncopation of the instrumental. From McMahan's tale of a ride on a roller-coaster with a gypsy fortune teller at a carnival in Spiderland's opener 'Breadcrumb Trail' to his reworking of Coleridge's opus The Rime of the Ancient Mariner ('Good Morning, Captain'), at the album's close, Slint's final work runs the gamut of marginal human experience, abstracted against a backdrop of jazz time signatures and 'spidery' guitars, to create a stifling air of impending doom. For all that however, 'Washer' is one of the most startlingly beautiful elegies committed to record. Sexy, claustrophobic, unashamedly arty and conceptual, Spiderland is considered by many to be the first true 'post-rock' album, following their Steve Albini-recorded 'post-hardcore' debut, Tweez (1989).  http://rapidshare.com/files/238725883/Sp1d2rl4nd.rar  www.nattawat.org  Music approved By Panterken CommentsLeave a Reply |
