| Description | : DRAG CITY CD120, 1997; WOHL EINES SEINER "SCHÖNSTEN" ALBEN: FEINE INSTRUMENTAL- AKUSTIK- & STEELGITARRENSTÜCKE ZWISCHEN DAVID GRUBBS-ARTIGEN UND V.A. AUF SEITE 2 ORCHESTRAL AUSUFERENDEN KOMPOSITIONEN UND MINIMALEN, FAST DRONIGEN PASSAGEN... INTROVERTIERT, RUHIG, VERSPIELT, ENTSPANNT... , THE FIRST SOUNDS LIKE NICK DRAKE INTERPRETING A TORTOISE SONG (FITTINGLY, IT FEATURES AND A PERCUSSIVE CAMEO BY TORTOISE'S JOHN MCENTIRE). THE SECOND TRACK FEATURES A HYPNOTIC, CYCLICAL GUITAR RIFF, THAT BUILDS UPON IT WITH BUBBLY ORGAN AND A PEDAL STEEL. THE THIRD ONE IS STUNNING. THE GENTLE GUITAR PICKING IS BACKED BY AN ETHEREAL CHORUS OF BELLS, STRINGS AND ACCORDION THAT CLOSES IN SWIRLING PSYCHEDELIA. THE ALBUM CONCLUDES WITH AN OMINOUS GROWL OF GUITAR DISTORTION, BUT SURPRISINGLY REVERTS TO O'ROURKE'S UNACCOMPANIED ACOUSTIC GUITAR, AND SURPRISES AGAIN WITH RAUCOUS HORNS AND PEDAL STEEL THAT MARCH OFF INTO THE SUNSET. JIM O'ROURKE'S MOST ACCESSIBLE WORK TO DATE SHOULD APPEAL TO ANYONE WHO ENJOYS THE SOUND OF AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR, NO MATTER HOW FAR REMOVED THEY ARE FROM (OR ENTRENCHED IN) THE WORLD OF INDIE ROCK AND EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC.
