The Spanish
bands are back with a very beautiful new split LP. Both bands hail from
Alicante in Spain and the guitar player from Pyramidal is also the bass player
in Domo.. Pyramidal starts thing off on
side A with The Siren. IT starts very slow and spacey with the focus on the
keyboards and bass line. Slowly the female
voice saxophone (they don’t normally have this) layers into the sound as the
repetitive guitar line is played over and over. Half way through the track
really starts to build up with more guitar and get more heavy and psychedelic.
Love the way the sitar is mixed in. Great track! Motormind speeds things up
with its hypnotic space groove as the whole band just really flies on this one.
You find yourself really shaking your head as it buildsup. Another cool track
and it really spaces out at the end with some samples from the Americans in
space…. Flip the record over and you get
3 shorter tracks from Domo. Viajero del Cosmos starts things off with a really
heavy stoner guitar riff and straight into some great guitar solos from both
Pablo and Samuel. I love the groove on this one. Mantrastral starts off slow
and slowy grows with both guitar players playing really nice melodic lead
lines, some acoustic guitar and synths are also mixed in. Beautiful track. The
last track is Uróboros. This is a quite dark track with a little sitar twang
played here and there and what sounds like a horn but it is perhaps keyboards
since no one is listed as playing that. Spaced out and more experimental in
nature. A great split LP.. Only made in
300 copies. The coloured vinyl edition is already sold out.
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..
