Lightning Bolt - "2 Towers" from the album Wonderful Rainbow

If God played bass in a hardcore punk band. I'm not sure Dante could do justice to this "song", so I'm not even going to really try. Someone wrote somewhere that this music is like a colonic for your head. That seems about right, but it's much more. This piece in particular astonished me, and I can't remember the last time music did that. It begins with an immeasurable ferocity and never lets up, not even once, until five minutes later. It's exhausting, it's invigorating, it's as if the sun was a strobe light. Ok, I said I wouldn't try but I can't help myself.
