Alan Lamb - Original Masters: Night Passage (1998)


Previously on OPIUM HUM:

Three unsettling, at times oppressively harsh experimental sound pieces. The first two pieces were recorded on what Lamb called the Faraway Wind Organ, which actually amounted to ten miles of abandoned telegraph wires that he purchased for dirt cheap, while the third was recorded on a specially built, smaller (but still very large) set of wires. Metal wires humming, scraping, and clanging against each other makes for a somewhat terrifying, if surprisingly musical listening experience. Thanks to the commenter who recommended this album to me like four and a half years ago.

Track listing:
1. Night Passage
2. Last Anzac
3. Meditation on Spring 8
