- Hello, thank you for listening to our music. I hope it gives you some joy and pleasure.
I am pleased that you have discovered our music through this medium. I view this experience as the equivalent of previewing a record in a record store in days of old. However, if you wish to experience the music in its' fullest form, I would strongly encourage you to acquire it in a physical format you can bring into your home. Not only will you then be able to experience the richest version of the music sonically, but you will also be afforded the opportunity to enjoy the tangible artwork, which was conceived in tandem with the music, and serves as a further portal to experiencing the total conceptual and spiritual and emotional content of the work we have labored, lovingly, to bring to you.
I love you,
- Michael Gira / Swans / Young God Records

This whole album was the beginning of my personal journey on the SWANS train, I think I picked a copy of this album in 1995. Since then, I went back in the discography record by record, station by station in almost no time and the journey continued... and I'm still a passenger on that train. Love from Berlin.
Exactly same story here
We be escaping the cycle with this one
I'm hoping this too, my friend. Gotta transcend Metatron.
This is so.... oh my god this mix is fucking perfect. I have no words
Definitely my favorite song from this album
mind, body, liiiiiight, sooooooooooouuuuuuuuund........................
My favorite Swans track (as a Swans light kinda guy 😅) Sounds very much like Wire to me. 🖤
The light after the dark, redemption after pain/punishment, Milton´s "Lost paradise", Dante´s "Divine Comedy"...that´s what this song makes me think about everytime I listen to it. The best music is the one that brings images into your mind. Cinematic music
Gira is a genius
i love you too dad
One of Swans´s many gems from their mid-period career (86-96), the best period for me. Not that monolithic and raw as their early years (82-85) and not that intense end excessive as their latter years
Oh how I love swans.
Michael is one of those rare musicians who manages to walk the line between sticking to his artistic guns yet also remaining in touch with his fans and what they want. He really hit the nail on the head with these reissues. I wish more noisy/experimental bands would revisit their back catalogs and clean them up so it's clearer noise from the actual amps and less "red zone" audio clipping burying everything.
This song helped me cope with the passing of my eldest brother.
I'll be destroyed someday if I lose my eldest brother
peace to you
This is a masterpiece!
This is the swansong of SWANS
changed my whole life.
My god I love Swans there music is so good and the guys are genuinely nice God Bless The Swans
one of favourite swans tracks and now it's getting a remastered re-issue. that's love from the mouth of infinity
love of life forever brother
Definitely one of the better mid-period Swans records, and with the reduced reverb there's a sense of muscle and drive that wasn't there before. Beautiful chiming melodies, clearer vocals, full-voiced guitars. It sounds very different from the original issue. Feels like there's more space and emphasis as well.
James Smoot I couldn't have said it better myself
Hey nothing wrong with that! The original mix vocal is pretty different and there's a more mysterious, buried sound in that version.
Die Tur ist zu opened up the gates
the original version is 'more there'
The new master here is honestly extraordinary. In some respects it feels more like White Light from the Mouth of Infinity or some of the later live performances than the old mix, yet still unique and wonderfully evocative.
The Gear Annihilator, such a fantastic album. Truly worthy of this reissue.
this is so good
Incredible!
LOVE this track! this and Better than You are the two tracks that completely hooked me on SWANS
Thank you M. Gira for your music
Good music, I like the harmony.
Superb. 😊
This sounds like an ending song to an 80’s cop drama show showing a skyline sunset as the credits roll up the screen.
Love you too Mr. Gira!!
Intensely beautiful!!
Throw your mind away
Fall into the sea
There's nothing solid here
Dissolve your body today
There's a sun in the sky
We're in the atmosphere
Throw yourself in the sea
There's nothing solid down here (mind, body, light, sound)
Mind, body, light, sound (mind, body, light, sound)
Mind, bodyless, soundless (mind, body, light, sound)
This ordinary night
This ordinary day
They're twisted out of shape
Then, they disintegrate
Cool water runs through the ground
The ocean blends with the air
Throw yourself in the fire
There's nothing solid down here (mind, body, light, sound)
Mind, body, light, sound (mind, body, light, sound)
Mind, bodyless, soundless light (mind, body, light, sound)
The world was over today
The time is already gone
Throw your mind in the sea
Eternity doesn't last very long
There's some people on Earth
They live in separate minds
Dissolve your body today
There is no in or outside (mind, body, light, sound)
Mind, body, light, sound (mind, body, light, sound)
Mind, body, light, soundless light (mind, body, light, sound)
Mind, body, light, sound (mind, body, light, sound)
Mind, body, light, sound (mind, body, light, sound)
(Mind, body, light, sound, mind, body, light, sound)
(Mind, body, light, sound, mind, body, light, sound)
(Mind, body, light, sound, mind, body, light, sound)
(Mind, body, light, sound, mind, body, light, sound)
The voice x
"Michael's White Hands" always comes to mind while listening to this track
Same vocal melody, pretty much.
i have i told you today how much i fucking Love SWANS?
I am loooooving this!! It sounds better than I remembered. :)) YEEEEE HAAAAW!
best swans song
I love you too
Can't wait to listen to Killing for Company remastered :)
qazxswplmnko I'm especially excited for Telepathy. That's probably my favorite Swans song ever
looking forward to this one, and more re-issues in the future
♾
This one sounds a bit better than the version on spotify... i like it
OOOOOOOOHHH SHIT BOIS THIS IS IT
Nice song!!!
Absolute bop
Amen.
Beautiful
I love you too, Swans 😙😚😘
So excited for the reissue!
I hope I get a copy of the LP.
Are you guys planning to release more re-masters?
Borbs Gira himself said there will be plenty of more remastered swans re-issues. my top three reissues are 'the great annihilator', 'children of god' and 'soundtracks for the blind'. keeping my fingers crossed on it.
A 'Soundtracks for the Blind' re-issue would be so fucking dope.
all of them milking with green fleshy flowers i have the CD re-issue but a LP master would be top notch!
You got your wish. Mark the date: July 20, 2018 for the Soundtracks Of The Blind re-issue
Like the original version of this album more. This is amazing, but I guess I just have a special place in my heart for the sound of the original since I bought it and was there when it was originally issued. I go back to 1989 with SWANS and have great memories around all of the records. I still remember where I was in my life and the record stores I bought them from . Purchasing SWANS was an "occasion". This record and DCD's "Into the Labyrinth" I used to blare and drive my neighbor nuts! Wish I still had all of my stuff from the mail order days. Wish I would have bought that cigar box from Gira after a show in Houston in 1989. ;) Nevertheless, almost 30 years later and I still love my SWANS and eat-up any and all that they do!
I love you too, Mikey
I never clicked so fast b4!
Oh boy
The Title Is Life
❤️
The vocals on this version sound way different; cleaner and far less reverb.
yeaa boiiii

Michael a qt
anyway you could get a shirt run on this design?? I'd be so stoked!
oh wait, never mind. Sold!
Snowking587 you found a shirt like this? where?
Kinda hope swans return to this sound at some point. Not that what they're doing as of 2010 isn't also fantastic as well
rain world
78/100 pleasure
Did you guys add any overdubs whikle working on this re - issue ? This is so different from the album I bought at the time I´m not so sure. A little guitar/keyboard part here and there which is much more prominent in this ... dunno, maybe my old stereo system too ...
Delhi Delirium no, I hear it too
im 7 yetars old
even more intense on 1.5x
😊😊😊😊😆
Where's our SFTB 3xLP, Michael?!
3? if that one is getting reissued it would be a 6 LP record.
Probably a 4xLP. It's only incrementally longer than the other 3xLP records.
I mean, the past couple of records r 2 hours long and r in 3 LPs, so 4 seems reasonable. Maybe that's y it's taking so long, 'cause it's a lot of pressing.
Hmm... I'm trying to place the tracks on the records... Assuming that each side can carry 22 minutes. Let's see:
SIDE A: red velvet wound, i was a prisoner in your skull, helpless child "first 7 minutes, the lyrical part"
SIDE B: helpless child "the rest 8 minutes", live through me, yum yab killers, the beautiful days "only 5 minutes of the track"
SIDE C: volcano, mellothumb, all lined up, surrogate 2, how they suffer
SIDE D: animus, red velvet wound, the sound "the first 8 minutes, there's a noisy part that could be faded out and then faded in on the next side"
SIDE E: the sound "the last 5 minutes", her mouth is filled with honey, blood section, hypogirl, minus something
SIDE F: empathy, i love you this much, yrp "the first 3 1/2 minutes until jarboe's singing"
SIDE G: yrp "the last 4 minutes", fan's lament, secret friends, the final sacrifice
SIDE H: yrp 2, surrogate drone
Well, I didn't structure the tracks before typing this very comment but, looks like the last side, h, would only contain 4 minutes of audio. I guess there would be a better structure of the record but... In case it's getting remastered, I would really get mad if the track order will be messed. I adore every single second of this album so don't get me wrong... but looks like the major bangers on the album "helpless child, the sound, yrp" are getting sliced. I really wouldn't want this to happen as on the vinyl version of "The Seer"...
Oh I bet you're happy now...
Оу еееее
throw yr mind away
tripudi
in other words don't upload swans records and say "I don't own the copyright to this" like that's any sort of justification
