When his lips are sealed, Mr. Montgomery suddenly becomes quite listenable. Mayan aficionados out there will link the title and the famous site at Tikal. The tracks on the album are thick with interwoven guitar lines and moog drone, inspired by the Guatemalan rain forests and mysterious ruins of the temple there.

The Allegory Of Hearing is set to bring even more adoration upon New Zealand's true "guitar hero." Recorded in Montgomery's harbor cottage in Lyttelton, NZ, during October 1998 on his trusty Tascam Porta One and mixed in January 2000, Allegory is a return to an instrumental palette first witnessed on his debut DFR CD Scenes From The South Island and Temple IV CD (Kranky). Armed with newly acquired Rickenbacker 12-string and vintage Farfisa electric organ, plus his usual Teisco, e-bow, and Quadraverb arsenal, RM has created eight short soundtracks of a particularly meditative nature. All, save one, clock in at under six minutes, making this a slightly more digestable dish for those with smaller appetites, but fans of Montgomery's high-profile contribution to Harmony of the Spheres collection will be pleased with the exception, "Resolution Island Suite," which clocks in at over 17 minutes, premiered at Terrastock II in San Francisco 1998, and appears here reworked in an instrumental form. The album is a tribute to Irish immigrant and amateur ornithologist Richard Henry. Around the end of the 19th century, Henry transferred hundreds of endangered New Zealand native Kakapo parrots to the damp, uninhabited Resolution Island. Unfortunately, Henry underestimated the ability of small mustelid and rodent predators to swim, and the birds that he transferred perished

Roy Montgomery is one of the great masters of do-it-yourself rock music. From his base in New Zealand, the secluded artist has recorded an impressive number of albums almost always achieving stunning sounds.
