Organum Ikon Robot Records CD Available through the Helen Scarsdale Agency: $11.00 Never one for the massive durations extolled by the '60s minimalists, David Jackman has reelased dozens of short 7" singles and 12" EPs for his stalwart Organum project, and Ikon clocks in under 17 minutes. Sonically, this stands with Organum's finest work. The extended screech of bowed cymbals fits perfectly with the non-verbal deep vocal chants and hovering wisps of a flute to create a timeless and ancient-sounding music. As soon as Organum satisfactorily meets the requirements for the drone supreme with complex interlocking timbres from various tones and abrasions, Jackman orders everything to cease. The shortened programme of these beautiful sounds appear as a letdown at first, but jackman's fleeting constructions say everything that needs to be said with all of the economy of a three minute pop song.
