I'm a CYBORG...!!!

About Me


JAH BOZO (alias Jon A. / Jon Anderson / Wookie / Hey You!) is an Australian-born musician, composer, song-writer, producer & DJ, living in Copenhagen, bustling capital of The Land of Cheese.
Jah B is genetically predisposed to prematurely-grey beardo-ness, which he regards as kinda kool, apart from around Christmas time, when small children (and others of a comparible mentality) point and laugh...
When not sitting in front of a computer, Jah B works as piano-accompanist-to-the-stars at Det Kongelige Ballet (the Royal Danish Ballet).
Over the last few years, Jah Bozo has been involved in various productions fuseing electronica & dub with such styles as lounge, pop & rock; most notably as a member of the now-defunct Danish production trio, BANZAI REPUBLIC , and currently as one half of CINEMA OF SOUND (with producer JONAS ØSTERGAARD ) and one third of INDISTOGETHER (with JONAS , and singer/songwriter JON CENTURY ).

ABOUT THE TRACKS...
Beware! It is generally advisable to listen to these tracks via your mo-fo hi-fi or through earphones, as computer speakers WILL NOT do justice to certain essential elements in the mix. For example, bass guitars may disappear completely... and how much fun is that....?!?! Like, NONE!!!
HÆST Tango (CoS Remix) is a CINEMA OF SOUND production from 2005, featuring LAID BACK 's JOHN GULDBERG on guitar. It was made on my laptop over several stoned nights at the apartment of Hæst bass-player, MORTEN LANGKILDE . The danish text translates as:
Count on me if you're inviting (me) to tango,
Moisten the cheroot like a pensionist at Bingo.
(danish: "Bango")
Hæst has recently reformed after a long break, and you can download a selection of their catalogue (including the Cinema of Sound Remix of TANGO) FOR FREE @ http://haest.mymusic.dk .
Clik Trak, another CINEMA OF SOUND epic, features a multi-layered, gypsie-flavoured LILI P., recorded between gigs as solo violinist with the Royal Danish Chamber Orchestra. I&I have been concerned that the short, mid-eastern keyboard solo at the beginning could be dug up from out of the fuzzy dregs of a distant past. But the I can't place it, and is driving the I crazy! Is it something from a long-forgotten project, or have I&I heard it somewhere before...??? If anyone has the answer to this, please advise.... Thanks!
Tuesday (Palle Dub), an unreleased BANZAI REPUBLIC track (and another fav of the I), features reknowned Danish jazz trumpetist, PALLE MIKKELBORG. Palle laid down this inspired horn solo in one take, and without any preperation - to the awe of the I and my fellow Republicans.
Cinema of Sound features Blue Foundation 's BO RANDE on trumpet, Norwegian songstress CHRISTINA UNDHJEM on vocals, JANNICK NÆSTED bass, HENRIK HANSEN of Mojo Hands on harmonica, JAH BOZO on melodica and programming, and JONAS ØSTERGAARD on drums and programming.
None of these tracks are mastered, but what the hey...?!?

Jah Bozo's Absolute-Worst-Film-of-All-Time:
A.I.: Artificial Intelligence
WHY? The fact that I had been duped by a glad-bag of special FX into wasteing my valuable time and money on this offensively cheezy, Z-Grade piece of celluloid cancer parading as "entertainment", made me want to lure starving sewer-rats up Kubrick & Speilberg's butts!
As the final curtain fell, I felt so revulsed (and somehow unclean...) that I stood up before a fairly full house, and publically and loudly cursed and damned their names and the scandalous cinematic abomination they had spawned!
An ugly pox on this painful, toxic, 1st-degree Crap-Fest - and all those responsible for it!
Yo! Steve & Stanley! Here's some sound advice for ya.........
