Customer Reviews

It really is the way of things.
Managing to avoid the cliched dynamics associated with many "post-rock" artists, Jon Innes has composed an album of dense beauty; with a confidence and maturity that belies his age.

The Ansion has surely shifted the paradigm as to what constitutes a truly great instrumental act. Sharing the same sonic shelf as luminaries Labradford, The Album Leaf, Growing and Eluvium; The Ansion has perfectly combined live instrumentation, skittering electronica and beats that echo Aphex Twin at his most low-key.

To say that Jon has created a fresh organic feel only scratches the surface.

This is an album to lose yourself in...and find yourself in.

5 Stars...a must for everyone who appreciates music.
