Those of us who aren’t already familiar with these tracks and are getting limited mileage out of Chasny’s recent exercises in finely honed border-psych will find that these patient, meditative, sky-minded nocturnes are just what the witch-doctor ordered.
-
Fans ignore these efforts at their peril, since Chasny’s long-form efforts are often his best.
-
UncutRTZ helpfully collects together a bunch of Chasny's rare early jams, proving that his eldritch guitar studies--at once intense, devotional and not a little creepy--have remained consistent for a decade now. [Mar 2009, p.103]
-
MojoRTZ is a must for Six Organs fans and anyone interested in what has since been termed "nu weird folk." [Mar 2009, p.123]
-
The collection is a timely, if at times exhaustive, introduction to the Six Organs origin myth.
-
For those who were unable to track down the previously released material, RTZ is a boon (and for vinyl lovers, a feast on triple-gatefold LP). For fans who are mostly accustomed to Chasny’s more concise, song-based albums (Dust & Chimes, School of the Flower), it will be slightly flummoxing.
-
Under The RadarIt does not provide an accessible point of entry for the uninitiated. Like the majority of such collections, it will appeal to existing admirers of the artists work. [Winter 2009, p.80]
