Description
Released in 2006, 'Conference of the Birds' marked a bold progression for OM, the duo of Al Cisneros and Chris Hakius, formerly the rhythm section of Sleep. Expanding on the meditative qualities of their debut 'Variations on a Theme', the album presents two extended compositions that fuse metal, drone, chant, dub, and psychedelia into a seamless spiritual journey. Engineered by Billy Anderson (Melvins, Neurosis), the production highlights the cyclical interplay of bass, drums, and intonation, creating hypnotic repetitions that gradually unfold into transcendent soundscapes.
The record delves into themes of cosmic structure, potentiality, and transcendence beyond the physical body, making 'Conference of the Birds' as philosophical as it is musical. "At Giza" slowly unfurls with a meditative calm, its resonant basslines and subtle rhythms evoking vast expanses of time and space, while "Flight of the Eagle" rises with a more urgent momentum, channeling ritualistic intensity into waves of sonic force. Together, the two tracks embody OM’s distinctive balance of minimalism and power, establishing the album as a cornerstone of their catalog and a landmark in modern drone-doom exploration.
