Even if the new collaborative release by Oren Ambarchi and Jim O'Rourke, who partially reprised some ideas that they developed on their previous collaborative album "Indeed", got splitted in two parts, one on each side, I would suggest to listen to "Behold" as a continuum. The resounding elements, which appears on the first half as if they emit signals from inside a dense and really impenetrable fog or from a long distance, become more and more distinguishable: the constant tapping on hi-hats by Ambarchi doesn't disentagle the flowing leakage of (sometimes screeching) sonic entities and isolated but unrecognisable field recording that fluctuates in disarray within the tarnishing cloud where even single bass-like thuds by Jim are somehow relevant on the first part, but it turns himself into a sort of enzyme of the reversed process of enlightenment on the second half, whose closeness to some old-fashioned Krautrock progressions and contemporary minimalism doesn't eclipse the amazing way these muscians find a certain complementarity. You could imagine the whole release as the rendering of some cognitive process, where the initial confusion, caused by the seemingly disorganized movement of blurred elements, turns into proper ecstacy when the observer manages to understand or even foreseem the inner rules of their perpetual flowing. A listening to behold.
