Six Organs Of Admittance - For Octavio Paz (2019 Remaster) '2019

Tracks list

The Acceptance Of Absolute Negation (2019 Remaster)
Six Organs
Hermit Hut presents its first Six Organs Of Admittance release with the
remastered For Octavio Paz, on vinyl for the first time since it’s
original pressing of 500 on Time-Lag records in 2003 (which sold out in 24
hours). This new edition has been re-mixed and remastered from the original
four-track cassettes to bring out the resonant tones of the acoustic guitars
that were lost in the original transfer (2019 analog-to-digital technology has
come a long way since early 2000 16-bit DAT machines, remember those?).

For Octavio Paz is considered by many to be a high point in the early Six Organs
of Admittance catalog. Almost wholly instrumental, it is the only Six Organs
record that sounds fully dedicated to touching the edges of an acoustic
finger-style world that was still quite underground back in the first few years
of the new century.

The songs here utilize a variety of approaches to the acoustic guitar, both
steel string and nylon, solo and overdubbed, but always in the service of
atmosphere. The record ends with a side long solo steel string piece that sounds
equally at home next to modern guitar players like Tashi Dorji (who released his
first LP on Hermit Hut) as classic American Primitive players such as Robbie
Basho.

When released on CD in 2004, For Octavio Paz earned an 8.0 from Pitchfork who
said, “Though they vary from melancholy to warm memory in between notes,
the emotions that Chasny creates on For Octavio Paz are always stark and
imagistic.”
