I
finally got this in the mail. They had several colours and I managed to get one
of the gold ones, which was made in only 70 copies and you also get the CD. All
the bands except White Hills provide 2 songs per side. The total time for this
release is only 50mins so some sides are pretty short. Naam starts things off
with an ambient remix of their track Skyscraper from their album Vow. It is
pretty psychedelic and spaced out. Thickening Web is a longer instrumental
track that is really psychedelic with some good dynamics. White Hills is next
with We’ve got Blood like you’ve Got Blood, one of the very oldest White Hills
tracks from a rare CD-R but this is a new remix version with some instruments
that were not on the original. I have most everything by White Hills but not
this so I can’t tell how different this from the original. This track is a very
psychedelic synthesizer drone track with some drums for 11mins. The original is
8 mins. Black Rainbows now bring the fucking rock back with Viper Tongue! Minor
Monster Galaxy Message is a mostly instrumental track with some super cool
guitar including slide and lots of delays and later some cool synths and
effects. This is the best track on the record for sure. Awesome stuff. The
Flying Eyes start off the last side with Golden Grey. This has a quite spacey
guitar and organ, much more spacey than anything I had ever heard by these
guys. Evil Little Leslie, borrows a bit of the riff from the classic Spoonful
to make a dark, groovy, moody song. This
is a pretty cool record. If you are in the mood for laid back psychedelic space
outs, go for the first record. If you want to hear some more rocking
psychedelic stuff go for the 2nd record… A beautiful gatefold
release..
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
