So Jim O'Rourke was just some dude who joined Sonic Youth in the early 2000s, right? Wrong. Very wrong. His music dates back to the late 80s through his education at DePaul (where he recorded one of the best electro-acoustic records of all time, 'Tamper') His music from this period is hard to describe in one word, with the exception of "EXCELLENT" It's disturbing, it's awe-inspiring, it's beautiful, dreamy and nightmarish. More of his early works will be posted here for sure, but to christen the early O'Rourke extravaganza, behold his 1993 release of "Remove The Need" off of the Land Down Undeh's Extreme Records label. Note: The one-minute mark in 'Zurich Two' will prove my point of this music's excellency. Not to be confused with the 1989 cassette release also entitled "Remove The Need", which for the record could be his most disturbing compositions to surface.
