Norman Records review:
This Lee Ranaldo LP is thirty seconds in and it already shits all over SYR8. Countless Centuries Fled into the Distance Like So Many Storms is one of those lovely one-sided Table of the Elements jobs with an etching on one side, they sure do have purdy mouths. Superficially I suppose you could also accuse this of being self-indulgent twiddling but, despite the fact it's just one man and his guitar, there's so much more texture and feeling here than the other Sonic Youth record in this week. Squalling feedback, reams of effects, droning and the odd riff.. Take out the treble and it sounds like Sunn O)))'s quieter bits. It's pretty much great.
