Organum ‎– "Pulp / Icon" (Self-Released C-30) 1983


Whereas David Jackman appeared as 'himself' on his early cassette releases; around 1983 he became 'Organum' to become more anonymous ,if that was possible?
Dipping his toes further into the realms of non-musical droning noise, here's Organum's first release, featuring two near identical drones not unlike a spinning washing machine dueling with a taxi-ing prop driven aircraft.
Basically, don't expect a sing-a-long. 

Tracklist:
A Pulp (15:38)
B Icon (15:10)

  1. thank you for this! Do you know what number was on the tape that was digitized? Discogs mentions each tape was a unique performance.

  4. The Organum 'Pulp / Icon' cassette has no connection to the TNB / Coil / Vortex Campaign untitled (often mistakenly referred to as 'Dolbied') cassette which was reissued (incl bonus tracks) as 'The Melancholy Mad Tenant.'
