These
are the latest two live CD-Rs by Electric Moon capturing the bands shows at two
different festivals and the first releases with new drummer, Michael Orloff.
The first ONE is from Zytanien Festival and features 6 jams in this set. The
opening 20½ min jam starts like most of the 2011-2012 EM jams, heavy bass and
highly effected guitar riffing before Dave heads into freakout mode and the
bass takes over the entire sound as Dave sort of disappears in the background
of the mix and then later reappears with some aggressive wah guitar attacks and
Michael keeps driving the track. Lots of super psyched out guitar. Spaced out
stuff. The 2nd track grows out of the end of the first with a very
repetitive bass line to start a bit like Robot Stomp by White Hills but then it
changes and Dave plays some more melodic guitar lines and then starts hitting
the effects pedals and back into space they go. Jam 3 starts slow spacey and
searching while Michael has a bit of a break.
Sula plays some keyboard sounds with his guitar before strapping on the
guitar and letting it rip again. I love the riff he comes up for this jam. HE
goes into total freakout mode though at the end. The next jam is pretty
hypnotic with some cool delay guitars. Jam 5 is more melodic to start with some
guitar soloing and Lulu really drives this track with the bass. The sound
balance is better as well as the bass was just too much in the first track or
two. The last track is abit more stoned and by far the shortest jam at only
7mins. If you like previous EM stuff you will dig this as well. Michael is a
very solid drummer for the band. Total time is 78mins.
TWO
is recorded at the Rocht de See Festival and Michael has settled in a bit more
and the jams are longer as there is only 4 tracks on this CD and they Dave does
not play such heavy guitar, a bit more melodic. This one starts off with some
delay bass lines that sound pretty cool and spacey. It does not take them long
before they head off into wah wah land for a 18min trip. What a cool spacey
effect he has on the guitar on one part. The 2nd jam is really
excellent and the best lead guitar stuff Dave plays on the either of the CDs,
perhaps. Not so totally freaked out and heavy, more melodic while lulu and
Michael keep the groove. Next track has some really cool delay guitar. By the
end of 2½ hrs of EM, you are pretty wiped out.. Intense, psychedelic stuff. The
last track is a killer… The band are really grooving and spacing…
