Review by Renato Claro

The 2004 Sound Journal JAN by Ben Owen is a unique album that showcases an eclectic mix of experimental soundscapes. The album features a collection of field recordings and manipulated sounds that are arranged in a way that creates a cohesive and immersive listening experience.

From the opening track, listeners are transported into a world of abstract soundscapes that are both haunting and mesmerizing. Owen's use of found objects and natural sounds creates a sense of organic movement that is both unpredictable and captivating.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "January 5th," which features a series of metallic clanks and scrapes that are layered over a droning hum. The result is a hypnotic and otherworldly sound that is both unsettling and beautiful.

Summary by Renato Claro

the 2004 Sound Journal JAN by Ben Owen is a must-listen for fans of experimental music. The album is a masterful exploration of sound and texture that pushes the boundaries of traditional music genres.
