A gorgeous, surprisingly straightforward album of raga-like, fingerpicked acoustic guitar-based instrumentals from experimental music icon Jim O'Rourke. Fleshed out here and there by piano, organ, vibraphone, French horn, trumpet, violin, and pedal steel.
Track listing:
1. There's Hell in Hello, But More in Goodbye
2. 94 the Long Way
3. Bad Timing
4. Happy Trails

Ahh what a great album this is. O'rourke was an excellent songwriter once upon a time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this goodness!
ReplyDeleteThank you. This stuff works very well for me.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDelete"Bad Timing" is the title of a film directed by Nicolas Roeg. Jim O'Rouke has used some of the films of this filmmaker for his records: "Insignificance", "Eureka", etc. The four songs of "Bad Timing" are lovely.
ReplyDeletedo you happen to have the visitor? Only drag city one I haven't heard. Is it good or nah?
ReplyDeleteI do. I think it's great. One long, constantly shifting, exceedingly pleasant-sounding piece.

amazing, thank you. Are there any non-drag city O'rourke you recommend?
DeleteI honestly have heard <10% of his discography. Of those, my favorite is probably Disengage, which is just pure drone. I'll put a link here, but I'm probably gonna end up doing an actual post on it. His albums on the Extreme label are also excellent.
