J Spaceman returns with even more out-there material. The living legend of Spacemen 3 and (still) Spiritualized fame collaborates with Matthew Shipp, a pianist, to create a 40+minute long piece of treated organ drones. It's actually a lot better than I was expecting too!
Since it is Spaceman, the organ is heavily utilized to create a long, vibrating, pulsing, fading and actually enjoyable drone album. I listened to the entire thing at work today and just spaced out for a while. Pretty rad. The album is split into two tracks. The first tracks is the 44-minute long drone track, and the second is a more forward/abstract song which plays more toward Shipp's background.
The Treader label handled this one (as they did for J Spaceman's "Guitar Loops" a couple years ago) and the packaging is this beautiful embossed gold-foil sea-dweller you see above. Definitely worth the extra-bones for purchase.
Enjoy it while this link lasts. (or message me to email it to you again.)
