Melancholic, dramatic and simply breathtaking music created with the flawless co-operation with the Johnsons' orchestral backing of Antony Hegarty's virtuoso-playing of the grand piano and his unimitable voice with a vibrato that only Marc Bolan can match. This is music at its very finest!
Arguably the finest material this band ever did, the pre-Henry Rollins era. Fast and to-the-point punk rock with all the best songs and all the best riffs.
The record that bridges the early fast and frantic Black Flag and the latter day progressive sludge metal-flavored (post-)punk. Side A is the way Black Flag will be remembered: angry, furious yet catchy as hell whereas side B shows the path they were starting to take, a more difficult one of Black Sabbath -type gloomy sludgecore.
Progressive and sludgy post-hardcore in the unique way of latter day Black Flag. The band drives along like a bulldozer with downers in the gas tank and Henry Rollins belts out his trademark nihilistic observations of the world.
This is the record on which Blonde Redhead started to master it's cross-breeding of noisy indie rock and melancholic french film scores (á la Air etc).
"Milkwhite Sheets is the third solo album released by former Belle & Sebastian member Isobel Campbell. She said the album was inspired by the works of Jean Ritchie, Anne Briggs and Shirley Collins."

Songs of Leonard Cohen was the first introduction of Canadian poet Leonard Cohen (then already 33 years of age) to the world of popular music. Dark and deep folk -music that set a perfect opposite to the whole flowery hippie movement of its time.
