Iron Monkey "We've Learned Nothing" /
Church of Misery "Murder Company"

PhotobucketPhotobucket

An out-of-print, sludge-covered gem collecting two 10" records from the dying days of the Man's Ruin empire, when one too many Men of Porn releases may have prompted most to stop paying attention... Some of the best songs either band ever recorded. Church of Misery finally found a decent studio and captured their pre-slide-into-generic-stoner-rock lineup on tape, complete with weird warbly underwater vocals that totally make this. Sleep to win!

Fabrizio De André: Storia di un impiegato (1971)




Allmusic says: "An imperfect but thoroughly compelling album, Storia di un Impiegato remains a worthy addition to De André's impeccable catalog."

I say: Can an impeccable whole contain an imperfect part?

What do you say?
