John Zorn – The Hermetic Organ Vol. 6 – For Edgar Allan Poe (2019)

January 5, 2020

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to hear John Zorn completely spazz out on a church organ? No, me neither, but now thanks to an ongoing series of recordings, we – the unsuspecting public – have been given the opportunity. The Hermetic Organ Vol. 6 – For Edgar Allan Poe (I don’t give a bloody fuck who it is for, mate!) is a little bit up its own arse, but sometimes the best things are. It is a little repetitive, considering the mind-altering dirges you could get from one of these instruments, but there’s another whole bunch of these where that dream may be more thoroughly realised.
