Thuddingly pretentious album title aside, 1996's All Under the Leaves, the Leaves of Life proves that Eyeless in Gaza did the right thing in reuniting in the mid-'90s. Less a rerun of the duo's older sounds than an interesting new juxtaposition of elements from throughout the first six years of their career, this album features the harsh electronics of the earliest Eyeless in Gaza singles ("Struck Like Jacob Marley" and "Fracture Track" are as noisy as anything they've ever done), the delicate, almost folkish minimalism.

Eyeless in Gaza is considered by many to be Huxley’s definitive work of fiction. Aldous Huxley was born on 26 July 1894 near Godalming, Surrey. He began writing poetry and short stories in his early twenties, but it was his first novel, Crome Yellow (1921), which established his literary reputation. The exploration of the inner life through mysticism and hallucinogenic drugs was to dominate his work for the rest of his life. 9. Damning Yourself Broken.
After Fabulous Library, Eyeless in Gaza continued to build their catalog during the '90s with Saw You in Reminding Pictures in 1994, Bitter Apples in 1995, and All Under the Leaves, the Leaves of Life in 1996. The 2000s witnessed many releases as well, including Song of the Beautiful Wanton in 2000, Home Produce: Country Bizarre in 2003, and Summer Salt/Subway Sun in 2007/2008. The 2010s were busy as well, with releases nearly every year - many on the duo's Ambivalent Scale label. Alex Henderson, Rovi.
