Rules of Reduction mCD Metamkine MKCD009 early O'ROURKE piece that combines field recordings (traffic noises, honking cars) with at times layered minimal music structures of sax and piano, and other strange 'everyday life' recordings (performed music, weather sounds, playing kids, near silence atmospheres, etc.) into a true "Cinema for the Ears" journey, a phantastic Musique Concrete track with high dynamics and surprising changes, so far not re-issued anywhere else... back in stock, special priced, last copies probably 1995 €4.00

Too Compliment LP DDS 046 O'ROURKE at his most experimental - two side long pieces with strange morphing tones and amorphous quasi-rhythms.. cut on 45 rpm, 36 min, playtime, 1st ed. CLEAR vinyl, UK import! - "O’Rourke focuses on the frequency shifter here, using it to coax out fluxing tone thickets, haphazard frequencies and elongated drone corridors. It’s transportive stuff, harking back to the early days of private press academic synth music but also sitting on edge alongside Autechre’s recent long-form work.." 2021 €27.00
Hands That Bind LP Drag City DC 839 Soundtrack to the movie of the same name by KYLE ARMSTRONG ('prairie gothic' tale of down-on-the-farm horror' north in Canada): "Jim O’Rourke’s soundtrack is perfectly calibrated to this unforgiving space squashed between parched fields and blown-out sky. His palette - detuned piano, watery vibraphone, and a muted, amorphous shimmer that might be harmonium or synthesizer - matches the film’s dusty tones of beige and pewter and mobile-home brown" - comes in nice gatefold cover 2023 €27.50
