Artist:	ORGANUM
Title:	Die Hennen Zähne
Label:	DIE STADT (GERMANY)
Format:	3" CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	DIESTADT 057/66

"A four track mini CD combining the never released two 10"s Maus (DS57) and Die Hennen Zähne (DS66). Die Hennen Zähne opens with 'Die Kralle,' actually a David Jackman track from his archive recorded in the early 1980s. Next is the title track 'Die Hennen Zähne,' a joyful noise not unlike some of the TNB/Organum material including the sound of broken glass and Tibetan horns, best to be experienced LOUD. 'Maus' is the centre piece of this mini album and typical 'old school' Organum. The album closes with the more quiet and haunting 'Kazi,' a live improvisation featuring collaborators Michael Prime and Emma O'Bong. Digipack. 600 copies. Total playing time: 18:18 min."

Title:	Ikon
Label:	ROBOT
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	ROBOT 023CD

"Robot Records (in association with Siren Records, Tokyo) is very pleased to announce the re-release of the Organum Ikon EP in the digital domain. Appearing only for a short time as a small edition cassette on Aeroplane (1987), and then later as a 12" EP (1989) on Christoph Heemann's Dom Bartwuchs label, Ikon proved to be a monumental achievement in the Organum sound. Within the five compositions, Jackman combined self-made woodwind instruments along with vast droning environments to create spacious, haunting landscapes. These melodic undercurrents were paired with voice, percussive streams, and an assortment of textural elements that convey an incredibly eerie yet beautiful sense of space. Remastered and including an alternate mix of the title track, Ikon is an awesome document of one of David Jackman's most important works."

Title:	Sanctus
Label:	ROBOT
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	ROBOT 035CD

"The first album in a trilogy of new material, Sanctus represents the new architecture of the Organum sound. Recorded utilizing an implicit graphic score, the album is comprised of four discrete parts, each a variant of the others. These are not parts as in a movement or continuation of the composition, but rather four distinct audio canvases that represent a continuum of the elements at large. Composed in the spirit of the early Organum material, David Jackman has resurrected the droned-based, percussive turbulence of earlier years with a distinct new form of compositional systems. These new systems are scored for grand piano, Hammond organ, tower bell, and gong. While each element retains its distinct acoustic quality, the whole of each piece resonates the art of its totality. The results convey an ecstatic sense of presence, vast expanse, and, ultimately, infinitude."
