Timeless and lonely soundscapes.

This is one of Jon Jenkins early solo projects, and it 'hints' at what would be coming in conjunction with fellow artist, David Helpling. I found this CD to be a little 'murky', and only found a few selections worth downloading. The trouble with many of Jenkin's offerings is, that most of them sound similar, and are almost indistinguishable from his later projects. For example: "Beyond City Lights" seems to use the same thematic premise as this earlier album. This is not to say Jenkin's is not a 'superior' artist, he just needs to vary his compass a little. Check-out his collaborations with Helpling, and you'll understand my point. Jon Jenkins is constantly striving for excellence, and I believe he still has quite a ways to go. The title-cut 'Flow' is a very-nice selection, and worth consideration. Not the best, or worst I've heard from an ambient artist. YMMV.

First i heard this cd lisend but never wailed about it. Many years later i found it in a box and it came to me, absolutly insane i could have missed this gem. Dont think anything else: its a very Very underrated and artfull cd. But as for all better music it will grow slowly so it did for me so.

Flows Slowly

A number of Jon Jenkins CD's flow from start to finish but I wouldn't say this one did for me. There are about 4 great tracks on this CD and the others I could live without.

Dark, Mysterious

This Ambient work by Jenkins encompasses the overall sound and spirit of the Spotted Peccary Music label and it's related artists. A brooding, dark and mysterious album, that seems to hint at two spiritual belief systems; that of Native America and Christianity, with haunting Native American drums and the song distinctly titled "A Word With The Vine", "The Vine" being a reference to Jesus Christ by his own words in the Bible.
