Tautologic's Basement Sessions, Volume I is a studio snapshot of
the band's live line-up in 2001, performing some of the band's more
accessible material. Featuring audience favorites like "Best Day of Your
Life" and "Special Sauce," Basement Sessions, Volume I is the
first in a series of self-produced CDs to catalog the band's continuing
evolution into home studio auteurs. The French magazine Harmonie
called the release "... miraculous progressive pop.... Immortal and
visionary."

50-minute journey featuring 12 concise, original cuts. Including
everything from 60's soul and psychedelic homages to modernistic string
quartets, the CD features elaborate arrangements on each song. The
release got very positive reviews and radio airplay in 3 continents.
Progression cited it as "a very auspicious debut," and numerous
European publications listed the disc as being among the best releases of
2000.

Before Tautologic and Turtle Down Music began, the chief members
of Om (vocalist/composer/multi-instrumentalist Ed Funk, drummer Jon
Elfner, and bassist Aaron Kohen) occupied the same house on the South Side
of Chicago. Om worked for three years before
Elfner opted for marriage and Funk for a life in the Monastery of the Holy
Cross. Follow The Cha, the band's only CD release during its
existence, features a tight, violin-peppered five-piece rock lineup and
Funk's thoughtful songs, drawing on influences ranging from Gregorian
chant to 80's pop.
