Mimir - Mimyriad

"Jim O’Rourke first joined Mimir for Mimyriad in 1992. It was completed and released as the first Streamline CD in 1993. In 1998, a radically remixed and reedited version was issued as a limited-edition Streamline LP. This new CD release contains a remastered version of the Mimyriad LP material and comes in a reworked and updated package."
"Supergroups don't come much more super than Mimir: Christoph Heemann and bro Andreas Martin (H.N.A.S.), Ed Ka-Spel (Legendary Pink Dots) and Jim O'Rourke (Gastr del Sol, Brise-Glase, collaborations with Kaiser, Prevost, Null, Muller, extensive solo output) all teaming up for Mimyriad, one 49-minute track of gliding tonal float. It's possible to hear elements of all three creative axes - HNAS's piercing, swooping drone, Ka-Spel's flubbering weirdness, and O'Rourke's sourceless, motionless sound - but the beauty of it all is the editing [accomplished by Christoph Heemann], which makes radical direction changes seem rational whilst allowing them to somehow return to their proper impact and which juxtaposes many disparate elements, blending them into one seamless, fluid whole."-Opprobrium
