Artist description Jon Jenkins sees it as his responsibility to reach out, grab the listeners by the ears, drag them into another world and show them around a little bit, regardless of whether or not they want to go. When you put on a copy of his latest release, Flow, you'll know he's not kidding. By the time the first track is over, you've been grabbed by the ears, pulled through a sonic wormhole and dropped into a world of many wonders where the music flows as powerful as a river, as deep as the sea. With the creative contributions of ambient electric gutarists David Helpling, Jeff Pearce, and Howard Givens, Jon Jenkins has given wings to a musical hybrid, not of styles, but of experiences, and is best described by the artist as "Ambient - Electronic Esoterica." With "Continuum" and "Flow," to his credit, Jon Jenkins has not only managed to discover something precious - his own musical space, but he can convince you that it is yours as well.

Press Reviews Billboard Magazine CRITIC'S CHOICE "Jon Jenkins has crafted an album deep along the Steve Roach-Brian Eno ambient axis, but Jenkins also has a melodic sensibility that lifts this music out of the drone zone. Floating somewhere between the quiet lyricism of Harold Budd and the expansive spacescapes of Steve Roach's Structures from Silence, Jenkins' melodies hover just at the edges, drawing you closer, asking you to listen more deeply. Working with a self-limited, yet lush palette, Jenkins creates melodies that float on the wind, and atmospheres that hang like Spanish moss. A welcome breath of lyricism into the often-featureless ambient zone, Flow remains the most underrated album from the Spotted Peccary label."
