Organum – Sphyx (1994, UK)
Our next spotlight is on number 1060 on The List, submitted by @soundclamp.
And, by coincidence, directly following our last spotlight on a 1994 album, here we have another 1994 album! That year was such a sweet spot for music, at least for my tastes, so it’s no surprise that this album of experimental, improvised, dark ambient sounds is amazing. Discogs is adamant that Organum consists of David Jackman and only David Jackman so I gather it’s a sticking point that the “Organum” name is essentially a moniker for Jackman, but this release also features Dinah Jane Rowe (who’s on a number of Organum releases), Jim O’Rourke (who’s on everything, everywhere), Eddie Prévost (of AMM, The Scratch Orchestra, etc.), and Christoph Heemann. And whereas the Organum project apparently is more known for noise firmly in the post-industrial and minimalist drone categories, this album features lovely wind instruments throughout that bring a more romantic element than those two tags would normally be associated with. I can’t find this streaming anywhere other than YouTube and physical copies of both the original and limited 2002 reissue seem to be rather rare, so, note that: (a) the link below is the reissue version that contains 2 additional tracks (originally from a limited 7″ also released in 1994), so stop it around the 35:54 mark if you want to just experience the album as originally intended (but I’m certain you’ll want to hear it all); and (b) at least at the time of writing, Steve Albini’s NM copy of the original pressing is available, here. Also note that, while the definition of “organum” is essentially a liturgical chant, there are no voices (or liturgies) here. There may, however, be sphyxes for all I know, though I’m fairly certain that’s a nonsense word. But, then again, what isn’t.

Gastr del Sol - Crookt, Crackt, or Fly
The thing about improvisatory/avant-garde music is that, sometimes, it's write-only...and a few tracks here fall into that category.
Some are interesting, interlocking, repeating riffs, which suggest a melody.
Some are "I threw a tray of silverware down some stairs while reciting abstract poetry".
Either way, probably don't want to put this on during a cocktail party. :-)

Music For A Film That Never Was (2016, Netherlands/various)
As randomly chosen by survey[1] on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 655 on The List, submitted by platenworm.
Here’s an interesting one for you! This album is the culmination of a project started by Luc Ex, a Dutch acoustic bass player, composer, sound artist, and filmmaker, perhaps best known for his work in the punk/rock band The Ex (who we’ll meet again in future spotlights). Recruiting a handful of brilliant contributors whose names will be familiar to some of you – Fennesz (Austria), Jim O’Rourke and Colin Stetson (US), Zlaya Loud (Bosnia & Herzegovina), Jillis Kruk and Stefan Kruger (Netherlands), and Ingrid Laubrock (Germany) – Ex asked each contributor to first write a scene for an imaginary film, and then compose and record a piece of music for that scene. Contributing a piece himself, Ex then arranged the resulting 7 songs into what could be called a soundtrack, for a film that doesn’t exist.
Each of the pieces in themselves are excellent (my favourites are Stetson’s “The Storm” and Ex’s “Ziganie”). But, knowing that context, it’s fun to listen to the album without any other distractions and imagine what those imaginary scenes could possibly be.
What happens in the film that you hear?
- The survey choices that initially led to this spotlight were “I’m not your lover, I’m not your friend”, “I am something that you’ll never comprehend”, “No need to worry, no need to cry”, and “I’m your messiah and you’re the reason why”, following surveys that had “I’m not a woman, I’m not a man”/“I am something that you’ll never understand”/“I’ll never beat you, I never lie”/“And if you’re evil I’ll forgive you by and by cuz” and “You, I would die 4 U, yeah”/”Darling, if you want me to”/”You, I would die 4 U”. There was a 3-way tie between the last three options, so there will be a spotlight resulting from each of those options. For the second option and this spotlight, the survey result was translated as picking the second album in The List that contained a word in the phrase – in this case, “never”. ↩︎

Haino/O'Rourke/Ambarchi: "With pats on the head..". 3xLP, documenting a 2018 concert in Tokyo. Ambarchi said during an interview that his and O'Rourke's task is to make Haino shine, but for at least the first half of this set, which I find very Derek Baily-like, I think they shine equally, changing instruments from track to track. But when Haino does one last switch, from "Improdent Oboe" to electric guitar, we know where this is headed. #KeijiHaino #JimORourke #OrenAmbarchi #vinyl #NowPlaying
