The 4th Movement

Okay, time for confession (I did go to a Catholic school in my youth), I have a weird fascination with religious psych records. It's kinda funny since I have absolutely zero belief in anything other than my brilliance (thank Catholic school for that too). And after searching through the crap mountain that is Christian rock, I've found what has to be one of the best heavy, fuzzed out x-tian titans. This guitar is just all over the place (in all the right ways). I just normally laugh at the lyrics, but really, they're about as silly as all the songs I love about Satan. But the vocals are actually pretty awesome. Really cool deliveries and soulfull too (by that I mean Black, you white devil). I thought this had to be from the early 70s but my psych-sense must be way off since I've read that this was the work of a trio of brothers (actual brothers, racist) recorded in 1980. If all Jesus rock was this good, I think I might have to convert (kidding).

    As a rule I never download bullshit x-tian music. And I don't intend to start now...Just kidding. If it's good for that old school detective from CSI it's worth a check.

    I'll let you if your full of shit on this one.

    Yeah, I tend to be pretty skeptical when it comes to shit like this, but I think this one is a winner. And it's Law & Order, not CSI, Bub.

    Jerry,
    I got around to listening to this today. Thanks for posting. This is damn good. I tend to wonder if they're actually x-tians. In all the x-tian muzak I've ever heard, the lyrics are so lame and dominant that any good sounds are overshadowed. This is the opposite. The singing is just singing and the guitar sound is just awesome.

    BTW, thanks also for adding the word "x-tian" to my lexicon. Also, I know you're the no-nonsense detective on L & O. The CSI bit was just a dorky dig.

    Glad you liked it. I was afraid I might get some electronic beating if it disappointed. What a relief.

    Once my lapsed Congregationist self recovered from too many godspells, superstars & multicolored dream coats, I started to really get into xian psych weirdness. This sounds very promising!

    Yikes. That kinda sounds like a nightmare. Then again, I can't say that my Catholic upbringing was all that useful.

    Mr. Orbach.... I think I read that you don't do re-ups, but I'm having a hard time finding this and there other rekkid "Totally".... You probably already know this is the same band as Death after they moved to Vermont. But I've been curious about both records for a while, and they are super hard to find.... any chance...?

    I plan on reuping it all over the summer months since I've finished teaching for the year. Check back in the future months and it should be here.

    Don't worry about the typos. I teach English and I don't even edit my own nonsense.

    I'm on the sidelines at the moment. I figure I'll pick it up again once teaching calms a bit. Perhaps a month or two.
