Alrighty, Ryan. Ok, Tony. you guys were right. it's pretty damn good stuff, indeed. while i'll stand by my original complaint (for now) that it isn't consistent enough, Skeletal Lamping has grown on me, and what songs i can pick out of the hazy mess when i'm only half paying attention are among the best Mr. Barnes has written. as tony pointed out, especially "An Eluardian Instance." in the spirit of our forthcoming new years' celebration, i got to poking around and found a really well shot, great sounding live clip.
definitely looks like the Hissing Fauna tour, the song is performed beautifully. the dual lead at the end is spot on.
