''Soundtracks for the Blind'' is the eleventh studio album by Swans, and the final for fourteen years, until 2010's My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky. It was released as a double-CD in 1996. ''Soundtracks for the Blind'', intended, as suggested by the title, to function as a sort of "soundtrack for a non-existent film", is by far Swans' longest and most varied studio effort. The album showcases various musical styles, ranging from stark, nearly gothic minimalism ("Empathy", "All Lined Up"); to epic compositions in the vein of Glenn Branca ("Helpless Child"); musique concrète ("The Beautiful Days"); cinematic post-rock as later popularised by Godspeed You! Black Emperor ("The Sound"); EDM ("Volcano"); ambient music ("Surrogate Drone", "Red Velvet Corridor"); and even punk rock (the live track "Yum-Yab Killers"). Due to the extreme diversity and sudden shifts of musical style, ''Soundtracks for the Blind'' could be compared to Faust's ''The Faust Tapes'', although the general mood of the album is far more consistent and less miscellaneous than the latter. - Wikipedia
