JOHN MARKOW


Over The Flame was a really nice listen this morning. I realize that I don't use the word "nice" too often in these pages, but it was....nice. Philadelphia's John Markow takes a meandering course through primitive Kraut drenched Neue Deutsche Welle, early Windham Hill, and Sir Richard Bishop, with a little touch of Ed fROMOHIO popping into some of the guitars and hints of Alan Vega peeking through the vocals. It's quiet, contemplative, it's shadows of the sounds I referenced above...it's just nice.
