    What an amazing fucking record. The title track might be the best Swans song, period.

      The Glowing Man CD is currently $5 on young god records, so you guys should probably buy it on there if you want it for cheaper AND signed by Michael.

        Does anyone know if there was a Test Pressing of the LP version of this? I have Test Pressings for My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky / The Seer / To Be Kind... but have never seen or heard if there were Test Pressing of The Glowing Man. Please let me know if you have seen or heard that there is one, and especially if you have one and it's for sale! I mainly just want to know everything that is out there, but of course would love to add anything to my archive that I don't already have. Thanks.

            Bravo, bravo, bravissimo. I won't be reviewing this one, in order to not subtract from its ineffability; beyond Doors, beyond Floyd, beyond reason. Fk you very much to team Mickey G et al (incl. Ms Grimm) for making this sexy beast thunder across our skies in the almighty happening that it is. To be kind, indeed x)
