Media Condition: Good CD Comments: 2 CDs Review The ubiquitous Jim O’Rourke hardly needs much of an introduction to anyone familiar with underground rock for the last fifteen years. The multi-faceted man has worked with nearly everyone around, from Merzbow to Wilco, as both performer and producer. 2008’s Long Night is an archival release from O’Rourke’s presumably deep vaults. Falling firmly in the experimental side of the musician’s output, the recording features a two and a half hour drone work from 1990. It’s a rigorously minimal and extremely gorgeous piece of electronic minimalism in the vein of Eliane Radigue’s glacial drones. This music is seemingly static at first, defined by a shimmering stasis. Playing with perception, O’Rourke slowly introduces tonal shifts that increase in activity near the middle of the composition. Whatever O’Rourke tackles is sure to be done with a keen sense of structural understanding and Long Night is no exception. This release is easily one of his most enjoyable avant-garde recordings. Highly recommended. -James Elliott		Buy $14.99
