I
have not heard this German band but this is their 4th release and
first on vinyl. Marcus from this band is the current drummer in Electric Moon
as well. The LP features for mainly
instrumental tracks of space rock. The trip begins with Synapse, which has a
hypnotic bass line, a slow building guitar line and riff and a lot of bubbling
space sounds. A point later the organ comes in and towards the end the synths
make it feel like a UFO is going to land in the living room. Pretty cool.
Sitarguitar is exactly what the title says, a slow spacey sitar guitar piece
that really has a great atmosphere. Nice trip.. Flip the record over and the
track No.2 starts with an organ, some floating wind and delay guitar as the
drummer shows the way forward into space. This track reminds me a bit of My
Sleeping Karma with its hypnotic qualities and repeated guitar lines.
Pyroclastic Monster has a really beautiful guitar line that runs in the track
at the beginning. Very nice dynamics and layers a bit like Folkazoid. A strange
vocal sample is thrown in a few times to mix it up and also some intense
riffing at the end a bit like Farflung. A very cool space rock record.
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..
