Small price! Foreign Lands and People, from its odd (because unmemorable) title to its unmemorable (because even I could have done it with Photoshop, and I don’t even know how to open Photoshop) front cover, is the total package. If the words “drone” or “bells” or “von fremden landem und menschen” mean anything to you, then you simply have to pick it up. If, to put it a little less snottily, you liked the middle-eastern tones that Peter Murphy used liberally all over Dust, and liked them so well that you could have done with a whole twelve-minute track of them, then Foreign Lands and People’s strange centerpiece, “A Sun to Life Sleep From the Weary,” is a must-hear. |
