This is the first full album release by Soul-Junk in 1994. There is a version of this album on BandCamp, but there isn’t much in common between this release and that release. Their website says this version is a “smaller track list,” but it is actually much different. Both versions have “The Lord’s Saxophone,” but here it is a full song of almost three minutes. “Even the Archangel Michael” appears to be a full-length version of “Junkrock Motorcade.” “Shine Out the Darkness” is a full-length version of “Yes Bless You.” “Heavenly Bodies Will be Shaken” is a full-length version of “Save Punk Gospel NoNet.” “You Who are Thirsty” and “Holy Fast” are full-length versions of “Rise of Soul.” Other than that, I don’t think there is any overlap between songs, even though they both sound like they were recorded in the same session with the same mindset – experimental indie rock mixed with free form improvised noise tracks (the ones mentioned here).
