The long awaited re release of Michael Gira's (Angels of Light / Swans and Young God Records head) soundtrack without a film ?psycho-ambient? instrumental opus of sonic chaos and wordless lullabies. Compiled, edited, mangled, fed back, mutated and morphed from high quality recordings of a dizzying array of musicians using acoustic and electric instruments -performed in the studio - as well as loops and fragments generated from these sessions, found cassette recordings, sine waves and drones, live Swans recordings...
Originally composed/recorded in 1998, this prescient collage epic summed up Gira's 15 year (Swans) obsession with music as raw, mutable sound ? alternately dreamy and abrasive, drifting from sweet acoustic melodies to music concrete in one breath. Sound-source contributions from Pan Sonic, Deathprod, Origami Rebulika, Swans and many more. The Body Haters disc contains a new track recorded specifically for this re release. Ultra lush (and expanded new) artwork by Nicole Boitos.
