One of the best albums ever - I'm not limiting this statement to just live albums, I include studio albums as well. The biggest gift Gira could ever give us is a 4LP set of this masterpiece.

Hi, I'm looking for Bill Bronson (Swans bass player), I would like to reissue his project The Dreamers. Please me if you have news or if Bill read this message. -
This one is a masterpiece. I can only imagine it will get vinyl some day, I feel like it must. There isn't a whole lot of video out there from this era, and for this being such an immaculately recorded album, it feels like it's just as important or crucial as Soundtracks for that reason, it's worth having almost alone for the version of Blood Promise. -
im surrprised he hasnt at least done a bigger cd repressing of this. if he could make a less-limited soundtracks i think this has to be next -
4LP, 8 sides, just like soundtracks, 2 songs on each side, would fit perfectly. VINYL Please!! -

Edited 5 years agoThe liner notes claim that Disc one (Black) was recorded in Amsterdam, New York City, Trondheim, Prague, Brussels and Atlanta in 1997 but this is not true. It's 100% sure that the second part of the cd (Hypogirl, I Crawled, I Am The Sun and Blood Promise) come from the show at the Paradiso, Amsterdam, March 13, 1997 (as recorded by VPRO). "The Man With the Silver Tongue" was also perfomed in Amsterdam but was omitted from the cd (the original recording of the Amsterdam show is available at www.swans.pair.com). During the 1997 tour another song "My Birth" was played quite often but was also omitted from the cd (a fast version in the US leg and a slow version in Europe).
ps .The first 4 songs don't come for sure from Trondheim and Brussels. I compared the wave form with the SDB recordings of these shows, also available www.swans.pair.com). I don't have NYC, Atlanta and Prague indeed. But I think the other 4 songs come from a US Tour date since they were playing "Blood on yr hands" without drums only in the US.
The liner notes claim that disc two (white) was recorded in Norway on the band's 1995 tour, but this performance is actually the concert at Paradiso, Amsterdam, August 29, 1995. he songs "In", "Alcohol the Seed", and "Animus", that had been played during the tour and also for the Amsterdam concert, did not appear on Swans Are Dead (the concert has been recorded by the radio station VPRO (According to the liner notes "Recorded By Berry Kramer III* (tracks: 1-1 to 1-8) --> sound engineer at VPRO..). The original SDB recording of the Amsterdam show is available at www.swans.pair.com. Animus is unfortunately cut on that recording)
