Om is the name of three separate projects:
1) A duo from San Francisco, CA formed in 2003 by the rhythm section of the disbanded stoner-doom metal band Sleep. The band’s first three albums feature Al Cisneros on vocals and bass and Chris Hakius on drums.
Their music is similar in structure to Tibetan chanting and is rich in rhythm and melody. Their music and lyrics lift off at the beginning and slowly mutate giving a feeling of evolution inside each song. The vocals have a monotone quality, producing, on some tracks, a noticeable hypnotic effect of the sort that tends to be appealing to the devotees of the many various genres of druggishly-bent, “space” music—but which not all music calling itself “stoner rock” necessarily is able to cause.
On the 31st of January 2008, Hakius left the band. In March 2008 OM recorded a 7” for Sub Pop records. The song “Gebel Barkal” was the first release to feature new drummer Emil Amos.
Current members:
Al Cisneros - Bass, Vocals
Emil Amos - Drums
2) OM was a jazz group signed on the German ECM label in the 1970s. They still occasionally play live.
Members:
Urs Leimgruber: soprano and tenor saxophones, flutes, percussion
Christy Doran: guitars, guitar synthesizer
Bobby Burri: double-bass
Fredy Studer: drums, gongs, percussion
Dom Um Romao: percussion, berimbau

If anyone has any doubt that what AL is talking about (here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZdVxRMd0Ks) that the song itself is a living entity and the third member of OM. One has only to check out this amasing live performance at Amoeba Music http://www.amoeba.com/live-shows/videos/om.html What a ride to say the least.

can't wait to hear the new stuff. I'd wish they'd tour around the states more, instead of just bumming around CA with GY!BE. Hopefully with the new album comes new tour.
