Organum is the project of one David Jackman, who, according to his website has been releasing material for over 30 years. The first thing you notice with this album is that the packaging is fairly minimal, although there is a sheet of grey cardstock that has the word UNBEKANNTE emblazoned on it. I don't speak German, but Google tells me that it translates to stranger, unknown, or unknown quantity. Also, the album is HEAVY. You could hit someone with it. But you wouldn't want to because it's limited to 233 copies and you may not get another chance to get it. On to the music. According to the press release that came with the album, 'David Jackman (the force behind the project) wishes the audio to speak for itself so we will not attempt to describe the contents of this release.' Well, I'm a reviewer, and they sent it to me, so I will attempt to do so. Imagine a William Gibson novel in which he tells three stories at once in sequence. You can see them slowly moving toward each other until at the end it all makes sense. This record is kind of like that. Piano chords, crashing noise that sounds like a metal sculpture falling down, and a small chorus singing the same repetitive strain until it comes together with ambient hiss and incidental noises peppered throughout. The main issue I have is that side A and side B sound pretty much the same to me. Maybe the differences are too subtle for me to catch, but I didn't notice much difference. It's nice, but not quite worth the $11 for a few minutes of music.
