Six Organs of Admittance - Dust and Chimes
This one's still a little fresh in the ears for this column, but what the hell the turn of this last century is probably further off than I want to admit. It seems just around the corner that the clock ticked 2000 and Ben Chasney
was picking his way into a second album, emblazoned then with a washed out photo cover that's replaced with a much more appropriate woodsy backdrop on the new version. Dark Noontide would forever be the moment when Chasney broke into a wider consciousness but this predecessor really brings him into his own and out of the sketchbook patterns of his debut. Its a lush album built on a love of raga and Fahey and feeling very much in line with the trend down psych-folk inroads at the time. Being that this was released in the vinyl desert years it only apeared on CD at the time, leaving fans of Ben's catalog with a hole to fill on the turntable. But now Holy Mountain's gotten this on the table and ready for psych fanatics the world over. Complete with a new video here for "Blue Sun Chiming" by Magik Markers' Elisa Ambrogio.
