    Perfect album cover. It conveys both massive scale and near complete emptiness.
    Whenever I look at it while listening to the album, I imagine that the camera is gradually zooming out to eventually reveal something incomprehensible and terrifying.

    about the "special low frequency version" part of the title, its an homage to the half speed cd reissue of the Syntonic Research album "Environments 2: Tintinnabulation (special low frequency version)" and Earth even used the same font for the cover as that on the Environments 2 cover

And then there was a surprise announcement that the band were going to do a Q&A right after (they're from my town, something I also didn't know). So I got to learn all about this band and then see them talk about their history, and now there's this video lol. They're p sick, guess it's time to actually check them out

I went to search it up on Spotify and stumbled upon this album. Curiosity got the best of me and wouldn't you know, about 75 minutes later I was a fan
    Upon searching for the parody Brad made, in order to make sure I was remembering correctly, I have realized that Brad was deliberately and overtly referencing this album

    I never comment, but... Holy fucking shit. I never thought I'd see a classic review of this album. I know you've gone on record saying you love it, but I just never thought it'd get that level of up-front appreciation. I remember finding this album on my first visit to [message board redacted] in 2011 and losing my mind. Obviously back then it was played/posted for laughs, but it legitimately left an impact on me. As someone with raging synesthesia, it made me realize you could find "music" (only in quotes to denote the massively multiplicative nature of such a term) comprised of literally anything: any color, any texture, any sound in the world. From there, I found Sunn O))), then harsh noise wall, and the rest has been an incredibly corrugated history. Seeing this album get a classic review is externalizing to no end -- as it not only cements this album as more than just the joke that people On Da Internet made it out to be (regardless of those who, like yourself and myself, seriously enjoyed it), but it adds this album, deservedly, to the canon of true game-changers. The fact that this review aired days after fucking Abbey Road? Tears in my eyes. So, so happy about this. Thanks, Fantano. This made my day.

    • @p0werfu11

      @outsetalec 11 місяців тому +1

      @@p0werfu11Not to the extent that it could have been, but like a lot of easily misunderstood works of art, it was very much thrown around as a tongue-in-cheek "2deep4u" album. That's not to say Earth 2 was *disrespected,* but people were certainly wink-wink-nudge-nudging 90% of the time that they were posting its cover. (If it isn't clear, I'm talking about /mu/ here, which kind of takes the piss out of everything -- but *especially* so in the early 10s.) It's also the case that Sunn O)))'s Black One was far more memed on than even Earth 2 (especially the track "It Took the Night to Believe"), whereas I think Earth 2 got a little more up-front respect. Either way, it was enough of a refrain for me to check out Earth 2 [and Black One following that] and find love in doom drone, so I'll be forever grateful.

      Wow… Disintegration Loops was one of your favorites in high school?? That’s a hard listen, man. More of a conceptual art piece than a piece of music. I think it was ‘Select Ambient Works Vol. 2’ that really got me into that genre when I was in high school. Later it was shit like Kluster/Cluster, Martin Rev’s first solo LP and that Monoton LP. I’m not sure if Pole’s first LP counts (maybe it’s minimal techno), but that was one of my favorites when I was walking through the suburbs late at night during my teenage years.

    Being a Melvins/Nirvana first wave grunge enthusiast, I got both Extra Capsular Extraction and Earth 2 when they originally came out. Earth 2... It's impossible for a metal/sludge listener today to really get the mind blowing *otherness* that came with this record; nothing was really quite like it. Sure, Melvins we're doing some very slow and very, very heavy stuff, but nothing like this. And the engineering was *so* pristine and articulated it was truly like nothing before. Today in a world where drone metal is an entire genre, this simply won't hit the same.
    I've always respected the fact that they never repeated this trick and went on to do other, equally innovative, moves with "Hex" and their more lo-fi garage doom rock material of recent years.

    4:29 I know some record trivia Fantano and Austen dont?! Cool. The cover and title is a reference to the album Tintinambulation 2: Special low frrqurncy version. Yes, it WAS part of a nature series. It's literally the only vinyl I still own🤣 by happenstance.

    • @GizzyDillespee
      @GizzyDillespee 11 місяців тому

      Including the back cover weirdness... you spent over 2 minutes mansplaining the whole concept... without being aware of the original classic in the field.I don't blame y'all... It was usually in the Newage section of the record store, filed somewhere between comedy, local, and world.

    Not as concise and refined as Earth 1, but Earth 2 still manages to bring the group's signature flare and catchy hooks. A welcome entry into an already solid discography. One of my favorites this year.

    This album completely changed my understanding of art. It’s somehow high-concept and filthy at the same time. I did a project for a college philosophy class about drone metal as an extension of Om in Hinduism which was fun

    I do believe that we've gotten some better drone-metal records in the years since, but this still stands as a fantastic and surprisingly engaging album (although I think many would agree that track 3 goes on a bit too long).

    @ 1:35, you mention Extra Capsular Extraction by the band Earth??? ...I couldn't locate that specific album.. are you referring to "Earth=A Bureaucratic Desire for Extra Capsular Extraction" the cover art is different (happens, whatever..?) BUT what track has Kurt Cobain on Vocals?!??! (If NOT the same album, can you help me find the song/songs that had Kurt on Vocals with the band Earth..? Maybe, UA-cam links, or Spotify, or Apple Music.. by any chance?
    ... thank you my friend!

    • @1ptyuch
      @1ptyuch 6 місяців тому

      Nevermind, I think I found it.. from the album listed in Spotify (not the Ep you mentioned but the full album with a few more songs) called "Divine and Bright'.. are there more feat. KURT COBAIN? Thank you for helping me find this!! Appreciate you!

    Although I prefer The Bees Made Honey in the Lions Skull. Earth 2 is an album I've listened to quite a lot. Despite how minimal it is, it always manages to captivate me. I almost always go to this album when im hiking or taking a long drive somewhere.
