SLEEP - "DOPESMOKER" CS

LULUS:

Proceeds the Weedian. It's difficult to imagine anybody reading this being unfamiliar with Sleep or their magnum dopus "Dopesmoker"; an hour long journey to the riff-filled land which after entering you do not come back the same person. Freedom is found there. If you somehow haven't heard it before, do yourself a favour and drop out of life and join the caravan to taste the sweet Hasheeshian aroma. While being an experience which I am still processing and flashing back to, after having the exalted pleasure of seeing them play live the realisation dawned on me that Sleep is the band who inherited rock music from its forefathers. They took the templates of loud, deeply fuzzed and distorted guitar music and stoned primal rhythm to the wonderful innermost & outermost limits of possibility. Don't be fooled; this album is a true titan of modern music, nay; a crowning achievement of modern man. We devout adherents to the light and the word here at Lulus couldn't pass up the opportunity to get this Herbsman's Creed on audio cassette. Follow the smoke. Jerusalem.
