Review

When infinity is the core of your creative palette, some things just take time. Beyond City Light arrives seven years after keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist Jon Jenkins released Flow, his first solo recording and a sterling piece of mind-stretching, deep-space sound design. Beyond City Light travels a similar path, with some variation, as it gradually transports listeners deep into the sonic ether. Jenkins in places supplements his spacious, resonant, slowly unfurling soundscapes with textures from flutes, wordless female vocals, and more emphatic percussion. While generally a good move, it tends to make a few selections, notably the Tangerine Dream-inspired "Through City Light," a little busy. Beyond that quibble, Jenkins--an admirer of Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel-era Genesis, and other progressive-leaning acts--crafts some splendid mental theater here, particularly the opening track and the concluding five selections, highlighted by the benevolent celestial sheen captured in "Sky of Surrender." For fans of electronic/ambient recordings who prefer the mostly atmospheric, occasionally rhythmic region of the progressive-music continuum, Jenkins is a composer worth noting. --Terry WoodImmersed in mysterious ambience and alive with compelling energy and powerful grooves, 'Beyond City Lights' offers the first taste of new music from Jon Jenkins since his landmark 1998 release, 'Flow.'

Jon Jenkins is a highly regarded composer of ambient/space/electronic music. He has developed a loyal fan base over the past several years. With this recording, Jenkins embarks on a sonic sojourn through sparkling city lights and beyond, floating on deep rivers of textural ambience and through vast scenic spaces to a realm of deep sleep and dying embers.
