Reviews "The Gift Must Always Move"

Christian Lowensprung gave a score of 9.5/10
"Calm and soothing instrumental music by ONOFFON. The guitar play,
and electronic aquatics that this song has been given, really stands out
as some of the most impressive I've heard this year. It mixes elements
of jazz, and puts a guitar at the front seat. This song really calmed me down,
and proves that a song doesn't have to make a statement (have vocals) to
prove anything at all. "The Gift Must Always Move" is a piece of art.
A true tribute to music, and to subtle guitar play. Yes, ONOFFON,
spot on! Highly recommended download."

ONOFFON - Weekend in Montreal
"This track speaks volumes about the genre of modern jazz.
Listen to the gentile nuiances in the phrasing and the strong
linear balance in the theme line. The great knowledge in the
chemistry between the players is unrivaled. The ability to go
from point A to point B is flawless. The way the parts speak to
each other sells this piece to even the most casual listener. If
you get a chance to see this band live, drop everything and go."

In tandem with the Music Street Journal's release of the "Got Prog?"
progressive rock comp CD, they have recently published their review of
our Your Mind CD and an interview with Von Babasin, about ONOFFON

Your Mind - Overall Review
"With their second album, OnOffOn have created one that is more consistent
in tone, but very hard to classify. Certainly the jazz influences are strong here,
and the band manage to pull together some strong blues influenced material.
Still, much of their sound is based in progressive rock, and the sheer act of
combining diverse musical styles helps to qualify them solidly in that vein.
There is really no weak material here, but rather this is an entertaining
ride that has some interesting twists and turns...."

Review of ONOFFON!

"One thing that certainly seperates this particular music group is simply
the style in which they play. The combination of alternative, jazz, and rock,
does indeed bring forth an original sound, and ONOFFON has emited that glow.
With the smooth-relaxing atmosphere of 'Mardi Gras' and the angelic arrangement
of 'Shadowglass,' this group has set their own standard. While still maintaining
influences and comparisons to such bands as the Harry Connick Jr. New York Big
Band, the Dave Matthews Band, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and their most likely
to be rival Coldplay. In many ways this group distinguishes themselves from the
others with the uniqueness of their sound. Songs like the jazzy intelligent
'Weekend In Montreal' and the odd rhythm of 'Surrender Now' leave them
in their own category for now. All in all, ONOFFON, is an original sound
in the shadow of the unsigned just waiting to explode."

"Your Mind" - ONOFFON
NFN31922
review by Erica Lynn Gruenberg

Cluttered. Weird. A smorgasbord of splendiferous sounds. Absolute perfection.

I absolutely love it when I am surprised by a piece of music when I hear it for the
first time. I love it even more when it takes multiple listens to even figure out what
instruments are being played. Does this sound like a familiar sentiment? If so,
"Your Mind" may be just what is needed to poke at, well, your mind.

The very first track, fittingly entitled Your Mind starts off with a loud count-off,
and then what I have come to figure out is probably someone running their hands
or some sort of utility on the actual strings that are inside a piano. Stunning. Then,
some screams here and there, and chanting of the words "your mind" over and
over again. And then, a blast of vocals and instrumentation that honestly made
my heart jump. This is a strong drug of a band.

And ONOFFON are a talented bunch. Shadowglass features a flute part that gives an
incredible tribal feel to an already sensuous masterpiece. Perhaps a soprano saxophone
is what brings chills up and down your spine. Look no further than Mardi Gras, an
instrumental tune led by Glen Garrett on saxophone. The percussion on this particular
track is absolutely top-notch. It truly is the essence of the festival, as it is a portrait in
melodic symmetry with Latin influence.

ONOFFON indicates that Ocean's Cry would be "...a stark contrast of surrealistic hues and
delicate gradiations reminding one of a dream not yet realized." Outstanding vocals and
an almost Santana-esque feel that gradually builds from pretty and melodic to somewhat
raging proves this to be true to light. ONOFFON is an honest, creative band that is not
afraid to stand out from the norm. What a good idea...

Perhaps Bebe's Song may be right up your alley. Yes, ONOFFON is not only creative, but
they certainly like to make music from multiple genres and forms. A more jazzy tune,
Bebe's Song is a love story of sorts that sounds like it could be performed on Broadway.
Whereas Opus is a simple song featuring multiple guitar talents and even some
occasional background rainstorm sounds that left this reviewer in tears.

All in all, one cannot go wrong by checking out ONOFFON. In fact, I would stand to
believe that letting this one slip through your fingers would be a mistake you'd learn to
regret. Beautiful music does exist, and people are still making it...
