5.0 out of 5 stars no title, August 15, 2004

By	Z. Komar (Croatia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I find it really difficult to write a review about this particular record, actually to write a review about any album by six organs of admittance. that is because this album works in a very non-verbal way. it does not create any clear thoughts in me while i listen to it. instead, it is very meditative and transcendent, it speaks directly to me in a very profound way. i find this record to be very calm and quiet but also incredibly intense at the same time, and it never forces anything. this music has about the same effect on me as buddhist mantras and chants do, but i find it even better.

the music itself is consisted of acoustic guitar and drones. there are very few pieces that are lyrical on the record. the compositions themselves are brilliant and they make a brilliant whole. the record works as one piece perfectly for me.

i wouldn't compare this music to devendra banhart, vetiver or any other new acoustic outfit, nor would i compare it to any droney "post-rock" bands. comparisons are generally just something silly and irrational, something that doesn't exist, but for the purpose of trying to describe this undescribable and unique music i'd say it sounds like mixture of forementioned buddhist chants, droney music like coil's time machines and brilliant acoustic guitar.

six organs's music is unique and true, honest, without any pose, music that is concentrated on substance, not image, and i would recommend it to people who honestly strive to be that way...

1.0 out of 5 stars terrible, December 11, 2008

By	G.R.S (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews

There is nothing interesting happening on this album. The electronic sounds are pathetic. However, If you want a similar mood and guitar sound check out Jack Rose, that is incredible music (no band, just solo acoustic).

5.0 out of 5 stars His overall best, April 28, 2007

By	Noel Pratt "Kaviraj" (Washington, D.C., and better places) - See all my reviews

I bought everything and this is Chasny's most well-rounded disc. DUST AND CHIMES is somewhat more psych/spiritual/druggy, but he combines everything he does on this one -- except the discordant passages, which I can't say thrill me anyway.
