Album notes:
OHM was asked to perform and interview live on Los Angeles’ KPFK. With friends/partners in crime Scott Menzies, George Grenier helping in studio, CPs wife Allison and friend Mike Dogherty in the audience, the band played live on the air in between station ID breaks from Mark Torres on his long-running show “Travel Tips from Atzlan”. A live mix was sent by Petar to the booth, broadcast on the air. The last three tracks on the record came from Tony Palcovics’ fusion show in Claremont, California… a live jam with a tip of the hat to Jimi Hendrix, also broadcast live on the air.

Album notes:
The first release done on Black Note Records, with Kofi Baker (son of the famed Ginger Baker from Cream) on the drum throne. This record was a combination of new and old, as the liner notes suggest. Much light and darkness in the lives of all those concerned, reflected in the colors of the music. “Tara”, and “Tattoo” were long part of the OHM set. “Spun” inspired by a movie, “Joog” a tongue-in-cheek title from some of our Armenian fans, “Williams’” by a friend, “Rooms of Telemetry” by a tragic loss in the family. Released in 2005, also recorded at Glass House Studios.

Album notes:
Now having moved to Tone Center/Shrapnel, this record emerges with arguably the most diverse songwriting from the band to date. Again with a couple of old songs getting their first doses of studio treatment (“Photograph”, “Point Omega”, and the fantastic “You Don’t Know”), there are ballads, space blues, funk, movie soundtrack tunes, a jig, and of course, fusion. Not a “Frankenstein” record by intention, but an honest expression of what was happening at the time. “DD 214″ for veterans past and present, reflective of the tragedy of armed conflict. “Mr. Brown”, written the day after the passing of James Brown, who died on Christmas (and incidentally, Rod Serlings’ birthday). “You Don’t Know” finally makes it to the studio, after been played all the way back when Koko Bermejo was playing drums- a gorgeous tune that has long been part of the live set. Released in 2008.
