Of course, Jim O Rourke needs no
introduction being well known as a
performer, producer and all round top
chap, as well membership of various pop
and rock combos for more than two
decades.
æIm Happy, and IÆm Singing, and a 1, 2,
3, 4Æ was called by many common folk
JimÆs laptop record or his powerbook
album. We prefer the simple term
computer when referring to the
instrument used for the creation of this
milestone album.
Equal parts - schizoid pop, cracked
minimalism, concrete drama and
melancholic contemplation. It strikes us
as a highly personal release. Given the
nature of this warm beast, it seems
likely to appeal across the board -
electronic nuts, indie rock kids and
yes, even the good folk of the
established experimental world may take
pleasure in the delicate nuances of
Jim's hard drive.
This reissue is long overdue (the album
being out of print for 5 years), and
comes with a bonus disc featuring
unreleased material from same period
sourced from Jim s vast archive, as well
as new artwork.
