Total, Eternity’s Beautiful Frontispiece
2000 | Label: VHF / Revolver

Skullflower's Matthew Bower takes inspiration from Lou Reed's teeth-on-edge classic Metal Machine Music on this album of squealing guitar feedback and overdriven harmonics. Titles like "Blustery Day on the Wind Farm" and "The Yellow Sound" perfectly capture the music's synaesthetic sprawl.

They Say All Music Guide

The British noise underground’s most celebrated ’90s psychedelic unit delivers another slab of droning space rock, lo-fi noise, and feedback on this outing. While their catalog is expansive and somewhat monochromatic, this CD is a highly recommended insight into the world of guitarist Mathew Bower, who effortlessly reaches glorious peaks of harmonic feedback and psychedelic overload. As if challenging Flying Saucer Attack and My Bloody Valentine in a race to the center of the sun, the album rates highly in his expansive discography. – Dean McFarlane
