"The utterly alien quality of the Smiths' sound conjured an image of the Titanic as a modern Tower of Babel, hemorrhaging garbled technical symbols across the 20th century - in spite of the cult that insists it is still erect/afloat. Harry Smith was one of the central voices in opposition to this delusional trance state."
