4.0 out of 5 stars Pastoral & Seminal, February 19, 2001

By 

Dirk Hugo (Cape Town, South Africa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fig.5 (Audio CD)

JOMF's music provides a contemporary reading of the sound or rural America, an electrified and occasionally free-jazzed take on the more languid end of the delta blues scale. Even the occasional bits of electronica are subsumed by the unhurried and decidedly organic agenda, becoming part of a widescreen aural siesta that is quite unconcerned with its destination. This album requires patience and time from the listener, but when those are afforded it provides a fascinating perspective of those elements in modern music that are often overlooked due to a short attention span. The fruits of this altered perspective are also quite perverse, as their remarkable version of "Amazing Grace" convinces without sounding the least bit lethargic or dogmatic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great late night headphone music, October 6, 2009

I think the first review says it best. I just got this disc about a week ago and have already listened to it about ten times. It's both sparse and edgy at the same time. Kind of Philip Glass/Ornette Coleman Americana music - if that makes any sense.

4.0 out of 5 stars takes some time, but worth it, September 12, 2000

This album really does take some time getting the hang of. Once you do it is quite rewarding. This is most surely not mainstream music and is quite a difficult listen. Take the time and this record will unfold.

It is long (72 min) and my fav song is #8 which pushes 25 min. In that song they really seem to get in a solid groove that makes me wish they would have developed all the songs on the album this well, then again we would have a 7cd album on our hands so maybe it's best this way.

The album has a couple of very historic songs in the way of songs # 4 and 6, which lend the procedings a really neat feel.

In the end this is an album for fans of experimental music and will never sell millions, but its great that there is stuff like this out there. Give it a try once it's unwrapped it can have a profound impact.

If you like this album at all give other stuff by Road Cone a shot, i think they are the most exicting label going today. Rollerball are completly amazing, and one of my fav bands on the planet.
