Re-release der LP von 1994 ! Super Material aus der wohl besten Phase von ORGANUM.
“Originally released as a vinyl LP in '94 on David Jackman's Aeroplane label, Sphyx was the culmination of pieces recorded over a three-year period ('90-'93) that included a monster nucleus of collaboration. Featuring Christoph Heemann, David Jackman, Jim O'Rourke, Eddie Prevost, and Dinah Jane Rowe. The result proved legendary and has been regarded as one of the finest Organum long-players to date. Right from the cascading shifts and interwoven percussion streams of the opening track, Aurora, the spacious landscape that is Organum emerges with a sinuous rupture of textural flares. The palette then expands with the title track, Sphyx, fusing deep distances and shakuhachi tonalities toward an intoxicating oblivion. Mutla concludes the original triptych of album tracks with a mammoth, eruptive reckoning of harmonic punctuations and slipstreams of keyed feedback. Also included (as bonus tracks) for the CD edition are AEO and Shining Star (originally appearing on a small edition 7”; in '95 on the German, Mermaid label). These two compositions (recorded and mixed shortly after of the Sphyx sessions) further explore a synthesis of woodwind elements and vast, glittering terrain. Remastered for essential track-to-track fidelity by David Jackman with the final flourish being administered by Robert Hampson of Main. Disc is housed in a black and white digipak in an initial edition of 700 copies. duration: 44 minutes." [label description]
