"Flames of Fire" from David Jackman (Organum) consists of a 47-minute piece titled 'Flames of Fire & Stars of Lighte the Sun Ariseth'. The opening metallic hum vaguely resembles the vibrations of a sitar; shruti-like drones elongated and sustained into infinity.

Unlike his work as Organum Electronics, the composition is clearly organic, retaining some electronic elements. A serpentine slithering tone that consistently flows - swelling and drifting into the lower end of the frequency spectrum - gives this piece a different feel than the ones that preceded it. The focus shifts to the tones, and he brings in the vibrating gong sounds that have featured in most of his recent work, with a noisy undercurrent towards the end.

"The drones are heavier on this release... There is an orchestral darkness about this, an enormous cloud without too many details and a more machine-like proposition... This is also very dark music, but with a rather menacing undercurrent... a bleak picture and the soundtrack for a gloomy time" (Vital Weekly).
