Osso Exotico (VII) [A1] by davidmaranha
And Drone? They just continue releasing 7"s with known and unknown bands with their ideas of drone music. They nowadays come in series of three. Osso Exotico I may rank among my favourite 'bands'. The Portugese trio, around their main composer David Maranha (except a great solo CD on Sonoris soon), come with off-shoot tracks of their CD on Sonoris. All church organ sounds, in long sustained tones. Even with my roman catholic background, but no longer a traditional religious person, I like to play this at a loud volume (without burning incense). Beautiful, and true drone music.

Created via an church organ this is not exactly how you would expect this to sound given the drawn out essence of the pieces, yet the aura of sound does retain a slight resemblance to its origin (fleeting sounds spark this recognition). Likewise there is an unavoidable religious flair to the sounds, mainly due to the conations associated with the instrument choice but this has more to do with preconceived notions than anything else.On both tracks a slow hazy warmth exudes from the grooves of the vinyl, with slow enveloping drones and deep cavernous sounds that rise and fall in volume during the slow journey of the two pieces. Essentially dark ambient pieces these sit well with the likes of Amon and the more minimalist school of sound. Interestingly the packing sees the music pressed on clear vinyl and comes with a small packet of spices. Very tasty!
