Jim O'Rourke

He makes some great music. Big fan of Bad Timing, Insignificance, Eureka, and Halfway to a Threeway. Haven't quite gotten into his stranger stuff, but it's nice too.

The Visitor is a work of musical perfection!

love this man....

forever

I join in his praise. He's made/helped make some fine music over the years.

Don't know much about him but would like to learn more.

I love what he does whether it's on a laptop or guitar. BAD TIMING is a gem, EUREKA is an oddball classic and The VISITOR is just lovely. His drone work is fabulous too ~ SPIRITS NEVER FORGIVE and FLAT WITHOUT A BACK are dark classics.

Don't bother... you wouldn't like him. He is a humungous pile of shit just like pavement.

also: gastr del sol - camofleur [drag city 1998]

"I'm happy, I'm singing and a 1,2,3,4" and his work in fenn o'berg should really be heard by all fans of experimental electronic music.

Looking forward to hearing the additional tracks on the reissue of "I'm happy, I'm singing and a 1,2,3,4"

Easy Tiger.

yes to everything mentioned here and a big nod to "Terminal Pharmacy".

Yeah I've made a couple of threads about Jim O'Rourke in the past, my mothers favourite song ever is women of the world. Love it.

it's been forever since i listened to i'm happy i'm singing.. i just did, very good. what else should i get from him?

if you're in the mood for something completely different, the albums that are named after nicholas roeg movies (eureka, insignificance, and bad timing) are all pretty great. check the youtube posted above from eureka. I think that's the album of those three I'd recommend first. if you want more computery stuff and haven't heard his collaborations with fennesz and pita, check out fenn o'berg - the return of fenn o'berg.

also Halfway to a Threeway

"Does the mirror say good day, today?"

ok so i went out and bought eureka and insignificance on vinyl after hearing some youtube clips, impressive as fuck! i love the artwork too.

edit: i think this may be the beginning of a talk talk scale obsession

Nobody mentionned his work with Gastr Del Sol ?

i've completely neglected checking out gds, or any of his projects besides fenn o'berg and loose fur. original silence look like they could be quite interesting.

upgrade & afterlife is a good introduction (for gastr del sol), it's varied and great. i like the balance between the "song" parts and the more unfettered drone/music concrete/minimal stuff on it. camofleur may be an 'easier' album, but it's also top-quality.

the original silence albums are (i believe) improvised, and are heavier, rockier forms of music.
