Home is the second solo ambient electronic CD by Glass bassist / guitarist / keyboardist Jeff Sherman. It continues his pioneering work in the sub-genre “Progressive Ambient,” a genre pioneered by Sherman.

In August of 2002 Jeff met and became friends with ex-Soft Machine bassist/composer Hugh Hopper at the Progman Cometh concert in Seattle, Washington. As a result the two decided to record together in the near future as time and schedules would allow. The result—a feat achieved by the transcontinental sharing of music files—is a brilliant next chapter in the continuing musical saga of this musical visionary.

Those familiar with Jeff Sherman's work in the band Glass or on his first solo recording "Above & Beyond" will be taken quite by surprise by this latest release. It is not that the music is wholly different from his previous work, but that it is so stylistically distinct from the other work while incorporating the kinds of ideas found in both Glass and "Above & Beyond." The result sounds somewhat as if late-period Henry Cow had performed Roedelius. The first of the four tracks, "Buried Euphoria," begins in stripped-down, Roedelius style and abruptly changes toward the avant-garde through the multiple layering of sampled sounds. The brief "Home" is a sweet melody played on acoustic guitar supported by Mellotron and recalls similar sweet passages from the Glass CDs. The last two pieces, "The Apes And The Auroras" and "Rainy Day" both feature bassist Hugh Hopper and both return to the sample and construct approach to composition used on "Above & Beyond."

There’s something deeply personal about Home. Like that place where our lives exist and our memories dwell, the second solo effort from Jeff Sherman, keyboardist and bassist of progressive rock group Glass, is rich, warm, vibrant, cool, simple, complex, and colourful, and hints at memories both comforting and disconcerting. Another effort of what Sherman refers to as “progressive ambient music,” it’s ambient in the sense that, as the cover art suggests, the music is very impressionistic, and progressive in the sense that it never lapses into the background, remaining a consistently innovative and exciting listen throughout.

Jeff continues where he left off on Above And Beyond, this time he has a special guest to help him out. Just imagine being able to work with one of your musical heroes. Well Jeff got that chance with Hugh Hopper. Musically this is to be heard straight through and with headphones to capture the sounds. And if you like, turn the lights out to add the journey.

In 2003, Glass' Jeff Sherman released his second solo CD, Home. However, at least three of the pieces contain elements that were recorded much, much earlier. For example, the core of "Burying Euphoria," Sherman writes in the liner notes, "is a 33-year old cassette tape recording made by my father which I sampled into my laptop." Home is Sherman reconnecting to his past, now that part of that past - Glass - is very much his present.
