Songs from Other Planets
"O'Bergh brings a fresh perspective
to electronica, ambient and chill-out music by integrating processed sampled
vocals into his superb laid-back keyboards and beats
Imagine being
on a bar in a space station orbiting a planet in the
Andromeda galaxy. It's closing time, most of the patrons have gone to
their rooms, and yet you can't leave because the music is so sensual and
sexy and yet also alien and exotic."

Bravo!
Jon OBergh should be very pleased with the results of Carta.
Once again, he keeps your mind in constant amazement. I highly recommend
your taking a trip around the globe with Jon OBerghs Carta."
Alice Hill, WELY, Minnesota
Carta
The man who burst on the scene with the critically
acclaimed Millennial Landscapes Is back with an exciting tour de
force in which he takes the listener on a literal trip around the world.
Jon's
second release is a feast of subtle world music textures, dramatic keyboard-driven
melodies, and exotic kinetic rhythms.

OBergh translates the sounds and rhythms
of the planets peoples with his versatile Roland keyboard. This
is a one-man band crossing cultures time zones, and ethnic areas."
Ted Cox, New Age Retailer
With
Millennial Landscapes,
Jon O'Bergh delivers a promising debut of a mixed bag of electronic music
and electro-tribal stylings that is extremely well-engineered and a lot
of fun to listen to as well
this album is a kick and a half!
It's
surprising how easily Jon moves between these different sub-genres, and
he does it with verve, style and a lot of talent
I can't recommend
Millennial Landscapes highly
enough."
Bill Binkelman, Wind and Wire
Millennial
Landscapes
Among the stronger tracks are Millennium
1.0 which has a nice tribal beat at the forefront with various keyboard
melodies and spacey synth sounds phasing in and out throughout the song
[Continental Drift] Version 1.0 is an even heavier tribal
beat that will bring you straight into the space jungle if you dare to
close your eyes.

This enjoyable album begins with the excellent,
rhythmic Millennium 1.0 which effortlessly draws us into O'Bergh's
rich, musical world
Nirvana 2.0 presents us with a divine,
celestial vision very beautiful.

Jon O'Bergh is a promising new artist
From the spacey orchestrations of Nirvana and Apocalypse
to the ethno-ambient sounds of 'Contintendal Drift Suite, this release
demonstrates a prolific sense of creation.

"For me it is very beautiful, romantic and
even mysterious. And also it is very visual. Listening to the album I
saw interesting, futurological images
Close your eyes and release
your imagination
This music has reminded me of the works by Christopher
Franke and Tangerine Dream."
Alexander Petrov
The
music [OBergh] plays is an adventure, a powerful vision which carries
us on a fantastic journey beyond all frontiers.
