Review

On Flow, Jon Jenkins trades in the orchestral synthesizer bombast of his Continuum album for more austere and restrained ambiences. Floating somewhere between the quiet lyricism of Harold Budd and the expansive spacescapes of Steve Roach's Structures from Silence, Jenkins's melodies hover just at the edges, drawing you closer, asking you to listen more deeply. "Into a World of Wonder" and the minimally epic "The Power/Washed Away" pulse with vaguely Native American rhythms and the album's most potent melodies. "Night Drifting Through a Black Canyon" explores pure melodic ambience with Jenkins's own thready theme working through electric guitar textures from Jeff Pearce, while "Part of the Solution" is a sultry, detailed excursion of morphing sound design. Jenkins works with a self-limited, yet lush palette to create melodies that float on the wind and atmospheres that hang like Spanish moss. Flow remains the most underrated album from the Spotted Peccary label. --John Diliberto Delving deep into the viscosity of life, Jon Jenkins masterfully engages the metaphor of water to ponder the fabric of existence with his powerful second release. Delicately crafted and sculpted soundscapes of sublime keyboard textures combine with the ambient electric guitars of Jeff Pearce, David Helpling, and Howard Givens, which along with occasional percussion create moments of subtlety and power that suggest the very process of life from beginning to end, like the flow of water from the spring to the sea. This is a profound listening experience that is dramatic, introspective, and ultimately inescapable.
