I'm really taken with this thing right now.
From Loop to Can to Chanting Like a Monk to Spacemen 3? sometimes I hear the Rolling Stones in them, too, which is kindof weird.

The Stooges on Codeine. I am so there.

Also...Hawkwind. Don't get me wrong.

just downloaded this to check it out based on your description... very impressed... I hear early post-Syd Floyd in there as well...

Recommend me more of this stuff please!

Post-Syd Floyd is the comparision that makes the most sense to me. "At Giza" wouldn't feel at all out of place on Meddle.

Dunno what else to recommend along these lines. What Om are doing is kinda unique at the moment, though I'm sure there'll be followers.

Mammatus? Earthless? Sunn0))) at their least grymm? Black-Boned Angel? Tarantula Hawk, maybe...

Haven't heard much else like Om, especially like the lyrics which just get better w/ repeated listens. I like the first album better, I think, def search that one. There's a decent thread on real ilm about them.

― grady (grady), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 07:50 (seventeen years ago) link

...? om are one of the few bands on earth i want to see.

― GAWD PVNCH (yournullfame), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 08:02 (seventeen years ago) link

well it looks like i'll get an opportunity to see them as they're coming to Austria in April as part of David Tibet's weekend curating the Donau Festival..

Dudes are seriously great live, Grady.

I don't get it. I tried listening to this album, and it did so little for me that I can't even remember what I disliked. It just drifted right on by. Maybe I should try smoking pot.

Their website says they're planning gigs in Portland & Seattle on Feb. 2nd & 3rd! Yay!

― Bimbler (Sourkraut), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 21:58 (seventeen years ago) link

this album grew on me to the point where i prefer it to the first. i need to see them live ASAP

p.s. pdf is on crack

My sis was playing it a lot before Xmas and it works as great background music. But it also works with full attention, and the life show at ArthurNights = yow.

My GF is a Yoga Teacher. She was working on her resume the other night and i was listening to this record on headphones. I told her I was listening to a band called "Om." She asked: "Is it Yogic music?" I didn't know how to answer so ijust let her listen for a bit.

she told me it wasn't.

Does this have absolutely nothing to do with the Dave Holland album?

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 28 December 2006 18:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Absolutely nothing.

― mcd (mcd), Thursday, 28 December 2006 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link

it's a great album. i wasn't excited by the sunno))))))))/boris summit, but a jesu/om meeting of the drones would be my cup of acid.

Om/Current 93 split is great...

― sgh (sgh), Friday, 29 December 2006 03:02 (seventeen years ago) link

It is.
The split with Six Organs Of Admittance is good too.

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 29 December 2006 03:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Except for the SOoA (just like the Current 93 split is brilliant, except for the Current 93).
