Vokokesh
is back with another improvised jamming spaced out psychic trip to another
strange world. The band is stripped down to just guitar, bass and drums and
strange percussion instruments with some spoken word poem thrown in one track.
Base Metal Blues starts things off in a slow growing way and Richard really
experiments with some super cool guitar effects that sound harsh and metallic
at times. Doing a Slow Burn is next and very strange with some guitar tuning
torture, percussion and unintelligible samples. The Fuzz God Awakens starts
with some mid paced steady drums and guitar that slowly gets more and more
effects layered on it as Richard takes the solo further and further. They are
strange jammers.
Flip the record over to the Four
Elements. It starts off more straightforward with just some guitar riffing as a
real track tries to evolve and it is a bit melodic as well and features a
really nice solo but it gets really far out. Otto mit dem Barte starts pretty
far out with a spoken word piece just as the 2nd piece on the other
side did but you can at least tell it is German! The Philosopher’s Tone is the
last track on this pretty experimental LP. Richard plays some cool guitar with
a bit of delay and later wah guitar, as they push the intensity. I think some
people are not really going to appreciate the very free and crazy approach to
this record, others will love it.
