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 re-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 the expansiveness of space and time, albeit nowadays they are a bit more subtle.
