Six Organs of Admittance - Dust and Chimes
(Pavilion)
What do you get when you put an open tuned acoustic
guitar next to a dude who likes Ravi Shankar and can
really play... I mean REALLY! The answer is Six
Organs of Admittance. As soon as the tablas on track
three come in along with the Mark Bolan type singing,
I'm hooked.
This sort of music doesn't ever go out of style.
People on Atlantis most likely heard something
resembling the Six Organs of Admittance when they
wanted a dash of drone to go with their togas.
Anyway, my point is that good guitar playing matched
with entrancing songs and mystical lyrics is timeless.
At times, the singing tended to take me out of the
trance; I don't really feel like the singing is all
that necessary in this musical context. Perhaps if the
singing wasn't so high in the mix, I would be a bit
happier... but maybe I'm stupid.
