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."

— Bill Binkelman, Wind & Wire

“O’Bergh translates the sounds and rhythms of the planet’s 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.”

Millennial Landscapes
“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.”

— Marius-Christian Burcea, Fun Radio, Bucharest

Millennial Landscapes
"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
