The
German instrumental band Space Debris is back with another 4 track double
studio album. Sides A-C were recorded in August 2013 and side D October 2013.
The band has a new keyboard player (Winnie) from the last studio album that I
heard. Each side includes track that fills the entire song. Side A starts off
with Colossus Stranded, a piece which has some singing here and there by Magic
Petra, who did the fantastic artwork. The piece starts with a slow build and
long organ solo. Magic mixes in some singing that I am not so fond of and this
leads into a longish guitar solo and Winnie switches to the Fender Rhodes sound
and a more upbeat heavy jam begins. The band is really great at keeping things
dynamic, if they had a 2nd guitar player they could create dynamics
like the Allman Brothers. Side B is the title track and starts off with some
pretty cool and far out keyboards and then Tommy kicks in with some jazzy
guitar but the whole thing really builds up and gets quite funky and
psychedelic. What a great jam… Side 3 starts off with the Fender Rhodes solo
and then the bass and other instruments slowly enter. The piece has a quite
happy mood to it. Tommy sort of takes the lead for a while on guitar and then
Winnie switches to the organ and they do a bit of back and forth intermingling
for a while. This track is more loose and jammy and everyone plays to a really
high level, with Mitja really grooving on the bass and Christian on the drums
as the track just builds and builds. Journey back to the Moon ends side D and
is another long jamming track with a bit of an almost Spanish style theme to it
to start. The track comes to an almost complete stop where you might think it
is ending but then it slowly grows with a long guitar part complimented with
some nice drifting organ. The track does actually stop completely and start
again, which is quite strange before fading out one more time… Cool record..
