Analog

Grainy, tape-saturated recordings of early minimalist works. Thrumming organs and reedy woodwinds create a warm, haunting atmosphere of 1970s experimental theater.

August 29, 2006 · Orange Mountain Music

A cold, mechanical meditation that feels both ancient and futuristic.

Moments Worth Listening For

The massive, room-shaking entry of the organ pipes during the opening minutes of Mad Rush.

The ghostly, distant quality of the woodwinds on Lady Day that sounds like a radio signal from the past.

The rhythmic, almost mechanical pulsing of the Farfisa organ on Victor's Lament.
