"Let Me Go, Let Me Go, Let Me Go""Pyramid Electric Co." is the first full-length solo album by
Jason Molina , released in 2004 onSecretly Canadian Records. It was recorded byMike Mogis and received universal critical acclaim according toMetacritic (with an 81 aggregate score). While critics found it hard going: "Pyramid is not but the musical equivalent ofA Season in Hell , not something one can take in often, but which is beautiful for the fact that it was completed at all", [ [http://www.stylusmagazine.com/review.php?ID=1649 Review at Stylus magazine] ] they also commented on the sincerity of the delivery: "The delivery is too matter-of-fact, too genuine to evoke pity or sadness. It is lethargic, yet not dreary — it grabs you violently and lays you down so, so gently." [ [http://www.tinymixtapes.com/musicreviews/m/jason_molina.htm Tiny Mix Tapes review] ] An unusual feature of the album was that it was released as a vinyl LP only, but each copy also contains the CD version of the album in miniaturized artwork.Track listing
