Allmusic describes Bardo Pond as having "lengthy, deliberate sound explorations filled with all the hallmarks of modern-day space rock: droning guitars, thick distortion, feedback, reverb, and washes of white noise." Bardo Pond are a taper-friendly band who encourage fans to make recordings of their shows.

Venus and all your charms
Oh Venus, goddess of love and beauty, with all of your mesmerizing qualities
You are as old as the sun
You are timeless and have been around for as long as the radiating sun in our sky
Venus and all your charms
You continue to captivate and enchant with your seductive powers
I fall into your arms
I am consumed by your allure and willingly surrender myself to your embrace
Venus and all your warmth
You not only possess physical beauty, but also offer comfort and affection
Each night I'm in your arms
Every night I am entranced by your charm and find solace in your embrace

Gonna toot my own horn here: I engineered this record - and co-produced w/ the band! it was great fun, of course! great people; FUN; highly creative artists; and know exactly what they want to do w/ their band and playing. it was "easy" dare I say it. Tons of fun. So much so, we did it a year later, w/ Lapsed. Loved the Matador Revisionist history of it as well!

Well let me say thank you very much. This album and Lapsed are at the top of my list. So incredibly heavy and beautiful. This particular track makes me start to cry every time it kicks in. Earth crushingly gorgeous.

Nice! Love how this album is mixed, particularly this tune. The tone on the amps is so thunderously good.
Was it recorded live or all separately?

The very first note I ever heard from Bardo Pond was this song opening the show at The Point venue in Little Five Points in Atlanta on the Lapsed Tour. I remember taking a sip of beer and then listening and watching in awe as I was lovingly assaulted with wave after wave of spectacular sonic sludge. I remember when the show ended, I picked my jaw up off the floor and then realized that my beer was still full. Instant Fan for Life. I still to this day am spellbound by everything they do. Thanks so much for continuing to make stellar soundtracks for my life. Hope to see you on tour again soon. Please don't stop making this tremendous washing machine music!!

I have seen these twice, once supporting Mogwai, and secondly as headliners, and both times they have been absolutely astonishing, beautiful, incredible, devastating, potent, emotional and phenomenal...probably one of the greatest bands I have ever seen in my life...

Love this. How did this escape me 25 years ago? I was a Matador enthusiast too.
Goes to show that there's always more.
