This
is the first new material from Mos Generator this year but I am sure not the
last. The three songs here are quite different for the band and they were all
recorded back in 2008 for an aborted album. Tony plays some keyboards on the
opening track, which he says was inspired by the movie Altered States. Time and
Other Theives Tony says was inspired by VoiVod and has had a number of versions
layers added at different times but he has stripped a lot of that back for this
final version of a song he is happy is out to the people now. Outlander has
hardly any guitars but is a beautiful spacey track lead mainly by the
keyboards, simple bass and drum groove. Very cool floating vocals.. This
material is unlike anything you have heard released under the name Mos
Generator but cool tracks, so who cares? The Issak track is only long 15min
track with a lot of different moods. It starts off slow and a bit spacey with
some long spoken word speeches by the crazy preacher, Jim Jones. Far out stuff
but it sets a cool vibe for when the stoner rock riffs kick in and it gets
heavy. I quite liked this track and they return to the same theme at the end
where the song started. A pretty cool 30min record… The record has really nice
details about all the songs by both bands.
