You will not believe this is live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, May 11, 2004
This review is from: Live at the Kpfk (Audio CD)
This like anything Poland puts out is a downright perfect release! Kofi the new drummer sounds like he has been jamming with these guys for years. You will play this non-stop!!!! I can only hope they make their way to Philly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every song on here is top notch so there are no faves when I play it I listen right thru to the end! Only thing is it is a little short.

Excellent Live Representation of OHM:, February 18, 2011
This review is from: Live at the Kpfk (Audio CD)
This is probably my favorite release from OHM:. While I love all of their releases, this one just has such a great energy to it, and the sound is incredible. Did I mention that it was recorded live during a live radio show? Yeah, these guys play without a net.
The entire band are incredible musicians. The great Chris Poland just absolutely shreds in the most tasteful way, Pag shreds on the 6 string fretless bass (how was this guy not discovered and made famous????), and this recording marked the debut of Kofi Baker with the band. Although continually referred to as Ginger Baker's son, Kofi is an amazing musician in his own right; he needn't have the precursor of Giner Baker's Son when referring to him, as IMHO, he is as good if not better than his father.
There is a great group of songs here, and I don't think anyone would skip through any of them; quite enjoyable.
If you are unsure of which OHM: recording to start with, then let it be this one.

OHM Is By Far The Best Fusion Band On The Planet, October 23, 2004
This review is from: Live at the Kpfk (Audio CD)
My best friend turned me on to Ohm about 3 months ago and I can't stop listening to them. I was aware that Chris Poland had been playing again but hadn't paid any attention. I guess due to the attitude that I have heard all of the players in that genre. Typically you get a lot of shred but nothing that really grabs you by the boo boo. Well as I told Chris the other night after a show at the Key Club in Hollywood, "Live at KPFK, and the studio self titles are the most inspiring and addictive cd's I have heard since Brand X, X Comminication." By the way Chris, and Robby are 2 of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Catch them in LA if you are in town or in the area. The next show will be Oct. 27th 2004 at the Baked Potato. 2 sets not to be missed.
