The Obsessed - Lunar Womb (2006 re-issue)
For an album depicting Francisco Goya’s infamous “Saturn devouring his child” painting you would be forgiven for expecting a blood-soaked death metal record with Lunar Womb but you’d be wrong. Instead, you’re treated to a relatively lesser-known side-project by prolific doom sommelier, Scott “Wino” Weinrich, a man best known for fronting the legendary Saint Vitus. While The Obsessed shares the Wino house-sound of thick, stoner doom chords, the overall tempo and feel of Lunar Womb is much more upbeat and fun, throwing in plenty of head-noddin’ grooves and slick licks, producing arguably Wino’s most accessible record. Case-in-point, take the fantastic “Back to Zero” a track that not only stands among the man’s best work but the songwriting is so good, so joy-inducing memorable that every time I hear it I can’t help but feel like it was written by a bigger, better known band. This isn’t a knock against Wino and co, it’s just such a well crafted earworm that it gives the impression of a top-charting hit rather than nestled in the middle of an obscure album from 1992.
Anyway, check this out if you like sounds similar to Kyuss and their ilk. Oh, and this re-issue sounds pretty good, too.

Really enjoying the new Steven Wilson remix of Jethro Tull’s live album “Bursting Out”. Wonderful stuff… Having bought the bumper cd package, I’m loving all the background material included.

Also got tickets to the gig in the Netherlands for next year. Anxious to see what ends up happening with the new album. If it’s closer to Porcupine Tree’s Voyage 34 album, that would be great, an underrated album for me. Similar setup, yo what he’s alluded to as well.
