Wow, I wish I was already that deep into the record. It was so hard at first, with the exception of two or three tracks, but now I feel like I found the map and key to it. Musically, it is such a departure from his previous work and I am amazed that I never read anybody mention it.
I have an even more controversial one: Leaves. Admiral is probably the one SKM album that I have not been able to fully enjoy. Sounds like a good thing to listen to on xmas eve.
This will obviously much more than a simply reversing the order of the songs. I bet a lot of new music and remixing will be heard between the transitions. Really looking forward.
I dove deep in Fats Domino fabulous work when Guided By Voices relased the Unsinkable track and have been fan since. Great to see some of my favourite artists are paying him his due tribute.
There's a album that keeps popping in my mind when I listen to it: Ariel Pink's Before Today. Different beasts, of course, but in my mind both inhabit the same fascinating swamp.
