Steamroom 11 has been released: http://steamroom.bandcamp.com/album/steamroom-11
It looks more and more like Jim is planning to continue releasing stuff on a regular basis.
Which is excellent news, if you ask me!

Found lots of new stuff from Jim O'Rourke the last few weeks ... which is always a good thing imo Don't know if some of it has been posted yet.

First. A new collaboration between Keiji Haino, Oren Ambarchi & Jim: "Only Wanting to Melt Beautifully Away Is It a Lack of Contentment That Stirs Affection for Those Things Said to Be as of Yet Unseen".
More info here: http://www.forcedexposure.com/Catalog/BT.011LP.html (LP) or http://www.forcedexposure.com/Catalog/BT.011CD.html (CD).
I immediately bought the digital version and I really like it a lot! It's very good imo.

Second. A LP-collaboration with John Duncan: http://idealism.bigcartel.com/produc...rourke-yeah-lp

Third. Live-footage from 2014!! Part 1 is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3VvLkwJ3Bg and part 2 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-HeoEJyvnM

And off course, on bancamp (http://steamroom.bandcamp.com/) there are allready 13 releases at the moment.

It's a very good time to be a Jim O'Rourke-fan imo

Don't know if anyone still follows Jim's outputs on Bandcamp, but steamroom 17 has been released last week.
I've listened to it quite a few times already and I really like it. One of the best releases imo.

Also, a little bit off-topic maybe, but Jim mentioned 'The Necks' in an interview online.
I check'd them out and listened to 'Open' and 'Drive By'. Both are really really great.
It's ambient-improvisation-jazz. Each listen makes you discover new elements.
Great great stuff.

Also on the way is a new release with Oren Ambarchi on Editions Mego.
And who knows ... maybe 2015 will see the release of his new 'song'-based album
But in the meantime, there are more then enough releases from/with him to keep me entertained.

in the interim...

Thanks. I forgot to mention this one. I bought it, but didn't have a chance to listen to it yet.
