Liquid Swords
Genius/GZA
Feel like I spend what feels like a lifetime immersed in the classics. Timeless records we go back to that occupy the space between my headphones again and again. There's a lot of albums like that. Records I've kept on tape, Vinyl, CD's with cracked covers held together sandwiched between a stack of other CDs. Now days its all there, digitally. This one right here, Liquid Swords man. Learned recently that Denys Cowan of Milestone DC Universe was responsible for the cover art. This a big deal for a kid who discovered Milestone during middle school. Checking back frequently at local comic book shops to see when the next issue would land only to get lost looking for what was a short lived existence on the bins and shelves of spaces around town. I've read and watched a bunch of interviews and realize I missed the liner note unaware of all the players involved behind the Milestone DC Universe and connection to this record. Extending my appreciation and respect to Denys Cowan. Can only imagine all those worlds coming together or it being obvious at the time that this collaboration was what it was. Thinking of the inspiration one can trace and track over the years. Shout out to Grimm.
