1. Lost 2. Raze The Stray 3. Burning Flesh In The Year Of Pig 4. Cold Ascending 5. Lexicon 6. Enemy Of The Sun 7. The Time Of The Beasts 8. Cleanse 9. Takeahnase, Demo version 10. Cleanse II, Live In OberhausenOriginally released on Alternative Tentacles in 1993, now reissued with bonus tracks on the band's own label, Enemy Of The Sun is a classic and transcendent Neurosis album.This album was the inevitable conclusion of many years' touring and performing. The material is more seamless, one song bleeding into the next, marking a continual soundscape as much as a collection of songs. The record's defining point is 'Cleanse', an endless orgy of primal percussion that opens up yet another dimension for both the band and the listener.Bonus tracks include a demo version of Takeahnase, and a stunning live recording of the band performing an alternate interpretation of Cleanse. Anyone else got any reccommendations that may compare or be regarded as essential too? This album is a favourite of mine and i'm always on the look out for new stuff.....You can find this in the shop at http://www.ironmanrecords.co.ukor for a direct url try http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Iron-Man-shop

  1. River Lethe says Every album Neurosis has put out since is essential. And different facets of the Neurosis jewel can be heard in Isis, Pelican, Mogwai, Mono (Japan), Sigur Ros and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. An electronic version is M83. A lot of their Tribes of Neurot stuff is interesting too. Some of them are companion pieces to Neurosis albums. See them live at all costs.
