Everything Comes and Goes

Product Description
Back in 1997, we at Temporary Residence Ltd. had a novel idea: compile a Black Sabbath tribute album with experimental, folk and electronic bands reinterpreting classic Ozzy-era Sabbath tunes. At the time it seemed like a unique idea, since such tributes were then executed primarily by washed-up glam bands or tired hardcore groups cheekily cashing in on nostalgic quasi-irony. Much has changed over the last eight years, of course. Black Sabbath did the unthinkable by reuniting – and has since done so three times. Ozzy Osbourne became a household name with his startlingly popular MTV-produced reality show and, to top it off, his children have become omnipresent pop culture irritants; in short, much of the world is ready for a break from the Osbourne clan. It is under these auspices, fittingly, that we proudly present the long-delayed Everything Comes & Goes, a tribute to the ultimate stoner-rock band.

The stories behind some of the tracks – contributed by a diverse roster of some of the world’s most forward-thinking underground artists – are nearly as compelling as the music itself. Matmos composed and recorded their track while on tour with Björk. Japanese noise legends Ruins sent their speaker-destroying mega-medley without a word of advance notice, having heard secondhand about the compilation. Four Tet took advantage of the release’s long delays to re-work and tweak his characteristic version of "Iron Man," and Curtis Harvey (Rex, Pullman) formed an eponymous trio whose entire recorded output is a heart-stopping version of "Changes" – they broke up shortly after the session.

Everything Comes & Goes is full of genre-bending homages by genuine Sabbath fans; each track serves to remind us of the stunning brilliance and innovation that was the original Black Sabbath. And that, first and foremost, makes it worth all the wait.

Gritty Sabbath.......2006-03-08

The record company made several huge mistakes in the production of this CD. Having the first song be a piece of dung is not the smartest move. The first song is F/X which is disastrous, you can barely hear it and it's fricking weird, if you up your volume loud enough to hear it you'll blow your speakers when the next song comes up. That next song is Reversible Sabbath by Ruins. It's basicaly the chorus of the 10 classic Sabbath songs played one right after another. It's pretty cool but you'll be disappointed because the quality of the recording is extremely poor, you hear distortions, like if a 12 year old recorded it from a cheap tape player and burned it into a CD. It sounds like a garage band. I don't think the record company took this seriously. There are a couple other jewels here. Iron Man was played on an acoustic guitar and is awesome. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is very strong but the quality of the recording kills it. It's so frustrating. I recommend you buy the CD for the three songs I mentioned.

thanks to the very public image of their original lead singer. if only their incredibly deep instrumentation(thanks in part to their countless and varied influences)was such popular fodder for the international media. then, maybe people would know what posessed the bands on 'everything comes and goes' to do what they did. to make unusual songs more unusual takes vision and probably a LOT of bong hits. planet caravan is done very well and even features some female vocals(!!). a hardcore version of 'sabbath bloody sabbath' is very appropriate. basically the whole thing is pretty short, but it flows so well it almost doesn't seem like a compilation.
