This review is from: Beast of Dreams (Audio CD)

The final cd by the Pain Teens, Beast of Dreams is a wonderful culmination of their career, returning to the original duo of Scott Ayers and Bliss Blood for explorations of sex, heartbreak, violence and nightmare love and utilizing a 16-track studio and a broad selection of instrumentation, including sitar, marimba, saxophone as well as the usual wailing psychedelic feedback guitar and dreamscape rhythm and bass loops that were Scott Ayers' trademark sound.
Lyrically and vocally, it was Bliss Blood's best effort, opening with the surreal track Swimming, and full of weird love songs, such as Manouche, Voluptus, The Sweet Sickness, Embers and Ashes, and Coral Kiss, as well as two covers of jazz standards, Moonray by Artie Shaw, transformed into a tribal drumfest with twinkling guitar notes shimmering thru and Invitation, one of the strangest most beautiful tracks the band ever cooked up.
