Delivery Health

2015 release. Delivery Health is the highly idiosyncratic trio of Giovanni Di Domenico, Jim O'Rourke, and Tatsuhisa Yamamoto. The recording was done in Tokyo's great GOK Sound, directly on a 24-track tape recorder, and was mixed at Steamroom, Tokyo, by Jim O'Rourke himself. The blend of early '70s ECM drum sound, long unfolding travelogues, and a great transparency in the mix, gives to this record a breadth and depth make the music hard to categorize. Jazz (think John Abercrombie's Gateway (1975) and, again, early ECM), electronic drones (reminiscent of Tony Conrad), and the most organic of rock sound (especially in drummer Tatsuhisa Yamamoto's tightness and openness) fuse in a very special way.
