Geoffrey Chaucer and Canterbury Tales for your ears. If you like medieval literature you'll probably like this. I imagine this is what was playin in the living rooms of all those Monk houses. Right in between bouts of silence, making Belgian beer and manuscripting, Larks' Tongues was turned up to 11. That said, there's definitely some groundwork laid buried in these tracks that I can get behind. I like the fuzzy feedback toward the end of easy money, the segments played in reverse on Book of Saturday, the Primus bassline in Talking Drum and the abstract opening in Exiles. But the vocals are done in earnest, the screeching strings(?) and the errant and silly sound effects (was that a vuvuzela?) sets this back a notch or two.
