about

"Jo Jena‘s Rhythm ‘n’ Drones on the test tube netlabel was a standout last summer (...), a mix of crafty guitar counterpoint and thick industrial hums. The recent addition of four angular, layered guitar pieces to Jena’s own website drew my attention to some work in the interim that I’d missed entirely: four electro-acoustic pieces, one of them in four distinct parts. They’re filed under “flächen und experimente (2005)” (or “scapes and experiments”) on the site.

Nr. 4 (MP3), the true keeper of a great collection, is tubular and flangy, while Nr. 2 (“In a Norwegian Way,” MP3) eventually allows a proper, if single-note, guitar solo to float above the low-level turmoil.

Nr. 1 (MP3) could be mistaken for a church organist on a maudlin, introspective day, and Nr. 3 (MP3s: “Entrance to Gresham College,” 3.1; “The Observatory,” 3.2; “De Corpore Saturni,” 3.3; and “Boyle’s Airpump,” 3.4) is at once diaphanous and industrial, each part abrasive in tone but aspirant in intent."

Master Chick Corea already said everything in the liner notes. There is nothing to add. Maybe the great quality of the recording though. jo jena/imm records
