CERTAINLY THE LONGEST JIM RELEASE THUS FAR, TRUMPING LONG NIGHT'S 2HRS 37 BY OVER 90 MORE MINUTES, AND SPREAD OVER 4 DISCS (4 FILES, SORRY), TO MAGNETIZE MONEY MIGHT NATURALLY BEG COMPARISON WITH SOMETHING LIKE WILLIAM BASINSKI'S DISINTEGRATION LOOPS BUT ARGUABLY MORE HAPPENS IN TERMS OF SHIFTS AND MODULATIONS ON THIS RELEASE IN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES THAN DOES ACROSS 5 HOURS OF BASINSKI'S LOOPS.
THE SHEER LENGTH GIVES A LOT OF SPACE FOR IDEAS TO BREATHE AND FOR ENTIRE NEW MOVEMENTS TO BE PROSODICALLY BORN OUT OF THE DECAYING MATTER OF OLD ONES. EACH DISC DOES HAVE A DIFFERENT FEEL BUT THEY'RE ALL IN THE SAME APPROXIMATE WHEELHOUSE OF BROODING, DISQUIETING, DRONING, OMINOUS, GURGLING, AMNIOTIC, ETC.
WHAT I DO LIKE ABOUT IT IS THE WAY THAT SOME SOURCE SOUNDS FEEL UNTRANSFORMED AND NOT QUITE BAKED INTO THE WHOLE SOUND - VOICES FLOATING UP AND OUT OF THE MIX, AND SOMETIMES A SYNTH SOUNDS QUITE OBVIOUSLY LIKE A SYNTH. MUSIC WHERE THE HAND OF ITS MAKER APPEALS TO ME AND SOMETIMES THAT IS LOST IN STUDIO PROJECTS.
BIT LONG FOR ME TO SAY CERTIFIED: GOOD BUT I IMAGINE FOR SOME PEOPLE THIS WILL BE A REAL HEAD-TURNER.
