[kj] OT: Swans recommendation/MOG

[Christof hamille]

If I had to pick a bad Swans record it is Burning World.  Nowadays it doesn't bother me as much.  But when it came out I was quite pissed.  Violently almost.  And it is probably safe to say that it is a result of being on a major (their only release mind you) label.
Then they came back with White Light from the Mouth of Infinity. Holy crap
