The
band is back with more material that was recorded at the session they did with
John McBain and was first released on the Smoke Drip release. This is the 3rd release that I have reviewed but the band this year! The A side opens
up Nor’ easter, a slow stoney build up. It features a dual guitars with one
playing the main heavy stoned riff and the other complimenting with some wah
and effects guitar. Photos of Photos is next and with some spacey keyboards and
drones as the guitars slowly come in a noodling grateful dead like way. It
stays this way til the end. Flip the record over and crank it up and you can
really feel the feedback as the main riff starts to take hold in Space Treader.
The layers of guitars are quite psychedelic on this one as McBain really adds
to the bands mix. A really cool synthesizer solo takes the lead towards the end
of this jam as the riff dies out. Wingspan is a slow floating drone trip to end
the side. Now
to the 12”, the A side (The one that got away McBain remix) was a perfect space
out for the opening of Sunday morning but wow, this B side track is probably
one of the best things and the coolest guitar psychout that has ever appeared
by this band. What an amazing cool jam on Pink Floyd's When you’re In (Live from
Roadburn Festival) that makes this package all worth it. Really great stuff. I
was there as well!
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..
