Organ Eye - S/T [Staubgold - 2007]Organ Eye's Self titled debut servers up two long form satisfying and detailed drone based pieces from this Australia/ New Zealand four piece. They Utilizes a mix of electronics, hammond organ, violin, processed harmonium, minimal percussion and guitar elements to create their richly detailed and growing sound worlds. Tema # 1 is the first track, It's starts off with grey first morning light drones that are met by circling string harmonics. the picec slow grows and develops with One of the most rewarding elements been this wonderful repeated sound that brings to mind the slow pumping of aged hospital ventilation system. The picec builds to wonderful powerful end with eerier marching bass drum behind the shifting yet dronig sound elements. Tema # 2 is the second track and starts up in a more hectic and busy feel, with layers of different instrumentals drone/stuck patterns over laying and scuttling around eachs. As the track develops the hectic-ness seems to grow in volume and depth. Theres also a nice throbbing bass line added in too, that really builds to quite a rocking and beautiful hectic crescendo, before like the first track finishing off with the eerier and atmospheric bass drum elements. An original, atmospheric and dense take on drone music, which really rewards repeated listening as new sound details and textural elements seem to come to the surface. Roger Batty
