Swans - Discography [1983-2010] + The Seer [2012]

Hello again, dudes!!!
A year after my last post I'm on the air once again. I maybe have stopped posting for all this time but I never stopped listening and searching for great music. It was only two weeks ago since the first time I've heard about the "Swans", the seminal NYC based music project.
The band formed back in early 80s and stayed intact for 15 years, until their dissolution in 1997. Thirteen years later in January 2010 Michael Gira (the original Swans founder) reformed the Swans and after a tour series in U.S. and Europe they launched their first post-reformation album with the title "My Father will Guide me Up a Rope to the Sky". Their last album of 2012 "The Seer", have been welcomed with enthusiasm and received  great reviews.
The music of Swans is far from any conventional description, for there's no one single word to depict it. Post rock, experimental rock, noise rock, no wave, industrial, neofolk, gothic rock, art rock are some of the styles that can apply to their music because Swans music is all of them together and more. Their songs are about love and hate together and they bring up stories about fragility of the human existence, behavior and relations through the rage of noisy sonic assaults or gentle, melancholic and almost pastoral manner. You will either love or hate Swans, but usually there are no people who are indifferent to what they have done throughout their 20+ years of existence as a band. Personally, I am not one of their biggest fans as I determine myself more as a "rock n' roll" listener, but I certainly got very interested about Swans work.
SWANS = Rock Devoutness, Rock Ecstasy, Rock Nirvana.

The Astronauts - Peter Pan Hits The Suburbs (Lossless) [1994]

"Peter Pan Hits The Suburbs" was released in 1981 to widespread acclaim. Incredibly it received great reviews in virtually all the UK music press. The typical Astronauts audience at the time was largely hardcore punks attracted by the energetic gigs and a handful of hippies so the album was something of a surprise. Full of heartfelt folk ballads and featuring legendary jazz saxophonist Lol Coxhill the album was not what fans had expected but appealed to a different audience. The contradiction of heavy chaotic punk performances and structured melodic alternative pop/folk/ambient songs continues to this day.

The first LP (Genius 001) re-released on CD by Lazy Dog Records.

Ciccone Youth - The Whitey Album (Remastered 2006) (320Kbps) [1988]

Album Review

The Whitey Album' is not Sonic Youth's long-rumored cover of the Beatles' entire White Album. Better than that, these New York guitar reconstructionists have come up with their own "Revolution Number 9" for '89, a dizzying collage of violently overhauled chart hits, sound-sculpture mischief, experimental riff shrapnel and art-punk gags stitched together with deviant whimsy.

Cut by Sonic Youth's Madonna-fixated alter ego, Ciccone Youth, The Whitey Album is just as jarring in its disunity and fuzzy in its focus as John Lennon's original splice 'n' dub smorgasbord. It is also compelling in its eccentricity and inspired in its trashing of the Top Forty (Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love," Madonna's "Into the Groove"). The Whitey Album – the follow-up to a 1986 Ciccone Youth EP that also featured Firehose bassist Mike Watt – is willful, fragmented nonsense that actually makes a whole lot of sense.... more@rollingstone
