This Morn' Omina - Omm of Life (ep) (Zazen Sounds)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    2 maart 2025

A new 4-track ep titled 'Omm of Life' is now available on bandcamp. It’s A musical dissertation of continuing saccadic movement leading to, and emanating from, meditation. Created as a self-reminder that not all has been truthfully written yet, a thought written whilst aging wisely at 50.


One Eyed Man was their biggest hit, got them a lot of gigs back then, airplay, spins by DJ’s all over the world. I was one of those DJ’s who played this tune (set after set) and still love it! Now we are many years later and there is much more of great tunes …

Samadhi_Q comes with it’s electro tribal sound and the projected vocals (taken from the internet)the closest to the biggest hit of TMO. I also hear a bit of industrial slices. The tempo is great, just as the beats. It’s clearly dancefloor material!

Veridian (ccf) is a slow and spooky electronic soundscape minded track, with a rise of tempo halfway, a broader and warmer sound (think about the desert heat in the Sahara). Towards the end it all fades out slowly.

Anagki et Elithea (*) gets us tribal electro. The more I listen to it the more I think it might make it as part of the music setting in a trendy bar/restaurant.

Omm of Life: totally zen, this is how you can describe the last track on this EP. I hear some electronics, percussion, some voices cut off from a movie and Indonesian influences.

Not bad at all! I think this EP has a bit of everything for everybody. From a dancefloor filler, over yoga style to more zen kind of music!
