Newly Sentient Being

Description

A monumental live experience by Swans, Swans immortalizes the end of an era with Newly Sentient Being, a live album recorded during the last concert of the iconic "Big Sound" formation. A true pinnacle of fifteen years of sonic explorations, this disc of over two and a half hours condenses all the hypnotic power and cathartic intensity that have made the band famous on stage. Alternating between earth-shattering explosions, mystical flights, and long improvisations, Newly Sentient Being also reveals many unreleased tracks, never recorded in the studio. Accompanied by a DVD of the concert, this ultimate testament celebrates a major incarnation of Swans and stands as an essential piece of their live discography.
