Review: The Book of Hieroglyphs


The Book of Hieroglyphs
The Book of Hieroglyphs by David Thomas

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Not just a collection of Thomas' Pere Ubu lyrics, but more. The essays on his creative process, magnetic recording (mics, etc.) and more bookending the lyrics are themselves worth the money. Also fascinating (and explained herein) is the lyrics categorization: not my album but pinned to the map of an imagined America.
