Listening to the opening of æOrgan Harvest Part OneÆ its hard to believe
that this melody came from improvised backgrounds. ItÆs so perfect and
full of subtle meaning that even if it had been carefully designed it
couldnÆt have been bettered. This album is a slight departure for RMI,
in so much that it is the most structured and composed release to date.
A conscious decision to display versatility perhaps, but it also serves
to show how spontaneous ingenuity and composed reflection can to be
combined to produce EM of faith inducing proportions.
æOrgan HarvestÆ uses a clock based backbone on which to construct
electronic reference points. The mid section is drifting collage of
lengthy corridors, leading back to the original source. æGeigerÆ
eaves-drops 10 minutes of mellotron and guitar conversation, with
weirdness high on the agenda. æEdisonÆ reveals a strangely schizophrenic
nature, as lively sequencing is held back by organic effects and
discordant piano. æRainy Day SongÆ sees the Doepfer immediately on duty,
with steady sequencing wrapped around guitar refrains and ever
developing mellotron textures. æOrgan Harvest Part TwoÆ wraps up the
main set with a deserved reprise of power electronics. æA Minute of
SilenceÆ has been aired a few times as a live encore, and it serves a
similar purpose here. ItÆs about as composed as youÆll ever hear RMI
admit to, with drums, chord changes and a structured melody forming a
gem of a piece.
This is RMI in measured form, continuing the mood generated by
æKnutsford in MayÆ. The effortless class can only be admired, however
RMI have shown their hand in recent gigs with sequencing power and
technique which is among the best IÆve ever heard. Sadly neither of
their latest albums fully exploit this potential, though frustratingly
the limited edition æOctober GalleryÆ CDR did. I hope their next full
release redresses the balance with a display of full-on sequencing.
Meanwhile, æOrgan HarvestÆ occupies the middle ground to perfection.
