Both
of these bands have their own unique style of cosmic psychedelic instrumental
(mostly) space rock music and are playing some dates together in December in
the UK to support this new release. I have been lucky enough to see them both
live this year. Cool bands. Each band played an album side long track and the
record starts off with Mugstar performing Breathing Mirror (18mins). The track
starts off very slow and spacey and then a hypnotic groove slowly fades in and
off we go.. The track is very much driven by the bass and drums with the guitar
playing varied stuff and space sounds coming in and out and here and there to
make it trippy.. About half way through
you think it is going to end as the drums fade out and it gets a bit metallic
in sound and then it cuts off and you are floating in space suddenly… A bit
later the trance state is loosend up and you return to a theme a lot like the
way the track started… Looking back into the Breathing Mirror. Flip the record
over for the Cosmic Dead track, Fukahyoocastaluh (25:51). The Cosmic Dead’s
side starts slowly and hypnotically and perhaps a bit more psychedelic due to
more spaced out synths. There is not a lot of guitar for the first part of this
track but the track is really spaced out and slowly builds as most Cosmic Dead
stuff does.. There are some occasional
vocals with a lot of effects just to take you to the next level of the head
trip.. Great record…
