David Jackman (Organum) presents "Flames of Fire", a mesmerizing 47-minute composition titled 'Flames of Fire & Stars of Lighte the Sun Ariseth'. The piece unfolds with a metallic hum, evoking the resonant vibrations of a sitar, before dissolving into vast, shimmering drones that stretch into infinity. Departing from his work as Organum Electronics, this recording embraces a more organic sound while retaining subtle electronic textures. A sinuous, undulating tone weaves through the composition, swelling and receding into the depths of the frequency spectrum, creating an immersive and meditative experience. Jackman reintroduces the resonant gong sounds that have defined his recent output, culminating in a surge of controlled noise toward the piece’s climax. Limited to 500 copies in a striking digisleeve featuring exquisite artwork by Jonathan Coleclough, this release is a must for devotees of deep, immersive soundscapes.
"The drones here are heavier, submerged in an orchestral darkness... A vast, nebulous mass, both mechanical and immense, painting a sonic portrait of bleak grandeur—a fitting soundtrack for shadowed times." — Vital Weekly
