Sleep - "Jersulam"/"Dopesmoker" - C/D?

wait Sleep has reunited?!

yeah they do from time-to-time. they played a few shows in 2010

oh sans Hakius tho, I see

Saw them two years ago at Brooklyn Masonic hall. I'm gonna invite a flaming here and say I don't like Al's sheer-rumble live sound. Call me a muso but I can see he's doing a lot of shit and I want to know what it is! Same went for the Shrinebuilder show.

Yeah, drummer from Neurosis drums on the live line-up. I saw them in, 2010 I guess, when they first started doing the live shows again. Bummed that I'm going to miss them this time. Positively titanic.

They absolutely destroyed at Roadburn last month. I'd never seen Sleep in person before, and was floored by their two-hour set.

sounds like the gig i went to - Shrinebuilder

Ha yeah I see Alan N and myself saying the same thing there, too.

its funny that it was still crappy even when they didn't have soundboard probs

anyone know what the hell hakius is up to these days?

i'm assuming some sort of organic farming / intentional community type of thing

re:hakius - OM - Advaitic Songs

HOT LAVA MAN

man so i have to admit i'm hearing things in "jerusalem" (vs. dopesmoker) that i never heard before

i guess that's common but this just feels really stark

yo am0n i know about the sabians but they haven't put anything out since 2003 afaict? are they still going?

hoos you got that in the right order? are you just now going back to jerusalem after hearing the dopesmoker reissue?

idk if i have it in the right order or not--i first heard and got to know 'dopesmoker' via a download of the original mix a few years back, and that's the one that i guess is still on my hard drive. i guess i'd never really listened to jeruselam, i thought i had. damn, now i'm gonna have to go get this reissued jeruselam too.

reissued dopesmoker you mean

i think they do this just to fuck with stoned people

lol

yes indeed they're doing our london atp (with Slayer and Melvins and Yob and Wolves In the Throne Room and A Storm Of Light - FUCK) and primavera barcelona. Cannot wait.

yeah they do from time-to-time. they played a few shows in 2010

played at a festival w/them in 2010 iirc & they were directly after us and opened right with a crushing Jerusalem/Dopesmoker riff section for about five min damn right I'm bragging, I got to geek out w/Pike & his son backstage afterwards

Saw them last week and it was uniformly excellent. No trouble hearing Cisneros either. Dopesmoker and Sonic Titan were the highlights.

Don't miss them if you get the chance.

not really into this new version

i dl'ed jerusalem and i think this is now the one i prefer, the drums are a little more up front

wait you like the dopesmoker reissue more than jerusalem or the other way around

other way around

yeah me too

no way

HERETICS

BREAK THEIR BONGS
DEBUD THEM
CAST THEM OUT

nah dude jerusalem is "the o.g." if you know what i mean ;-)

i heard it first too back when it came out as my mates brother bought it and he loaned me it to tape. i also have a tape recording of an interview with the band on some cable radio metal show (solar radio it was called) with the whole thing playing in the background as the band explained what happened with London Records. And i still think Dopesmoker is better ;-)

no dude it's THE OG do you see???

what were we talking about

I don't need to buy the same album over and over again. I'll stick with the CD I bought 10 years ago, thx

I kinda want to buy the vinyl reissue because I do like the cover. But this is totally a CD album for me.

I think I know what's going to be on disc 2 of the inevitable deluxe edition...

o yeah, they replaced the unnecessary extra live track with a horrible sounding live 'holy mountain'. wonder what the thought process behind that was

probably some bong rips were involved

listening to this for the first ime

this is one of the longest albums i've ever heard *tips hat*

lol

important q: *which* album are you listening to, cause there are at least two

the new one on spotify with some jawas and camels and shit, it's a 60+ minute track and a 11+ minute track?

i don't know the lore of this.

it's ok but i dunno doesn't really do a ton for me

fair enough

i am p fond of it
