 ... Three - Saint Mary Achingly melancholic, the rickety structure of this song creaks along with beautiful age and wonder in its belly. The voice has feeble sad warmth that never flickers out, and the acoustic guitar plucks at emotional memories and routines. The lyrics and strings sound like they're near death. A glorious four minutes that makes an allusion to a Denis Johnson novel. Four - Good Morning Spider This is a minute long instrumental interlude of lulling sounds with dark undertones that harbinger nothing. ...more

Good Morning Spider by Sparklehorse (1998) Producer and multi-instrumentalist Mark Linkous recorded most of this record himself, not long after his protracted recovery from a drug overdose that had him confined to a wheelchair for half a year. As well as singing, he plays guitar, bass, piano, wurlitzer, optigan, sampler, vibraphone, harmonium, concertina, percussion and drum machine. He is joined on various tracks by cello, drums, cornet, violin, piano, and pedal steel guitar. Linkous is extremely talented when it comes to dynamics and sonic textures, and captures some extraordinary moods in an original fashion. He's equally happy employing aching ...

Good Morning Spider is an astounding, consistently surprising (even after the nth listen), eclectic collection of songs, of noise, of light and dark. It is, depending on where one might choose to begin, a punk rock record, a lonesome alt. country tear-jerker, a staggering lo-fi white noise squall or, simply enough, an all guns blazing Rock N Roll onslaught. What it is not is any way predictable or safe. Neither is it at all forgettable. Released in 1998, the record toys with many of the same ideas evidenced in the debut Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot - notably the back-and-forth between roaring, punk-rock abandon and gentle, melancholy, pre-dawn still. ...

Premium Review Good Morning Spider - Sparklehorse: Schizophrenic Spider? (293 words)

Written when Mark Linkous couldn't decide whether he was into punk rock ("Pig"), lo-fi ("Happy Man") or whether to wear the troubled troubadour badge ("Painbirds"), a stranger collection of songs you're unlikely to find unless you've got the new Aphex Twin album. It's testament to Linkous' ability that every song sits happily next to the preceding and following ones. Opening with the punky thrash of "Pig", the uninitiated could be forgiven for thinking that they were in for a wall of distortion and feedback over the next 60 minutes, and would almost certainly wonder what was going on when 3 acoustic ...

Martyrium - Antestor
Bold, and a nice incorporation of doom and death styles into traditional black metal. Some songs are a little dull, and the last one a little preachy with its organs and thunderclaps.
