Review: Following their collaborative album Indeed which dropped in 2011, Oren Ambarchi and Jim O'Rourke join forces once more to deliver the two-track epic Behold for Editions Mego. Fans of this pairing will know what to expect, as daring soundscapes fill with a multitude of sound sources carefully processed into a simmering whole, stretched out over long form running times for the ultimate immersive experience. "Behold One" revels in suspended animation as its textures very gently rise and fall, while "Behold Two" takes a more lively route towards a clanging, droning crescendo driven by organic and electronic matter.
Review: Forgoing the relative delicacy of his predominantly guitar focused Touch releases for something altogether more complex, Sagittarian Domain sees him adopt a more complex compositional approach. Held together with his own powerful, Krautrock inspired drumming, thick slabs of ominous Moog bass, searing walls of amplified guitar, and dramatic string section, Sagittarian Domain is just as impressive as you'd expect from Editions Mego, and a bold step forward for the artist.
