• “An Inquest Concerning Teeth”
  from Hex (or the Infernal Method) by Earth (2005)
  

I remember listening to Neil Young’s Dead Man Soundtrack on a boombox during a late sumemr evening in the backyard of Finn’s Williams street apartment. The invention of Dylan Carlson’s Earth from ultra-slow downtuned guitar molasses to ultra-slow Morricone inspired twang-doom was quite shocking to some at first, but I find that it all makes sense. Both phases explore space and the expansiveness of time, albeit nowadays they are a bit more subtle.
