Jon Jenkins’ Cinematic Ambient Hit FLOW (Remastered)

“Flow sits at a compelling intersection, drawing on cinematic electronics, the textural density of instrumental rock, and the expansive spiritualism of classic ambient music, creating a commitment to deep, three-dimensional recording.” – Robin B. James, Igloo Magazine

Experience an unforgettable sonic voyage with FLOW (Remastered), where the landmark album by acclaimed composer Jon Jenkins is now offered as a remastered release with even more depth, dimension and intensity. Widely celebrated by critics as a masterpiece of modern ambient music, FLOW stands as a testament to Jenkins’ unique ability to blend melodic sensibility with atmospheric depth.

Released on the renowned Spotted Peccary Music label, this 74-minute journey through eleven tracks invites listeners into a world where music breathes and evolves.

Characterized by its lush, atmospheric textures and seamless movement between tracks, FLOW establishes itself at the intersection of ambient tradition and melodic innovation. A Billboard Magazine’s Critics Choice, Jenkins’ evocative soundscapes have been compared to the iconic works of many ambient masters, yet FLOW carves its own distinct path. Jenkins’ compositions hover “between the quiet lyricism of Harold Budd and the expansive spacescapes of Steve Roach’s Structures from Silence” (Billboard Magazine), drawing listeners in with melodies that float just out of reach, encouraging deep and attentive exploration.

The album’s production is meticulous and richly textured. Jenkins creates immersive atmospheres using a self-limited yet lush sonic palette: gentle synths, shimmering piano themes, and subtle, tribal-influenced percussion. Guest artists Jeff Pearce, David Helpling, and Howard Givens contribute ambient electric guitar, adding layers of warmth and resonance that further enrich the album’s intricate sound design.

Each track unfolds organically, with moods ranging from introspective calm to moments of powerful drama, ensuring an engaging and emotionally resonant listening experience, now even more revealed throughout this new remaster.

FLOW is not merely background music; it is an invitation to introspection and emotional discovery. Critics have praised the album’s power to “inspire and heal,” describing it as “relaxing, flowing, dream-imaged music” (Progression Magazine) that rewards careful listening with ever-deepening layers of meaning. Tracks like “Into a World of Wonder” and “Night Drifting Through Black Canyon” showcase Jenkins’ deft touch with melody and atmosphere, while the epic, three-part “Part of the Solution” demonstrates his command of evolving structure and dynamic range.

The album’s thematic cohesion is anchored by the metaphor of water, with soundscapes that ebb and flow, shimmer and surge, much like the currents they evoke. These liquid-like ambiences create a sense of space and timelessness, transporting listeners to realms both familiar and mysterious. Whether enjoyed as a late-night companion, road-trip soundtrack, or meditative backdrop, FLOW (Remastered) leaves a lasting impression of beauty, contemplation, and sonic wonder – an ambient classic awaiting discovery.

Recorded and Mixed by Jon Jenkins and Howard Givens at Spotted Peccary Studios, Encinitas, CA; remastered by Howard Givens at Spotted Peccary Studios, NW, Portland, OR; Design by Daniel Pipitone at Spotted Peccary Studios, NE, Ligonier, PA, make FLOW (Remastered) another highly-collectible CD, although it is also available for streaming and downloading, including high resolution studio master formats.
