I quite
liked this German bands last record called Synapse on the Sulatron label. The band has switched over to another small
new German label called Tonzonen (for the vinyl) and I am guessing that Space
Temple is the bands own label for the CD version? Like the last one, this one
is completely instrumental. This record was recorded completely live in the
studio on March 6th, 2015 and mixed by the drummer, who also did the
artwork, Marcus Schnitzler. Liquid Sun starts things off with a 13min track of
guitar, bass and drums with space sounds floating over and across the
soundscape as the band keeps it spacey and flowing. Eventually there is some
really nice delay guitar work by Hazi.. Nothing too fancy or ripping just
smooth and spacey playing. It builds up quite a bit at the end. Spaceship Breakdown is next and features some
synth parts from an ex-member and starts with some acoustic guitar. The track
has some more dense synths than the previous track and the same slow stoney
feel with nice delay guitars and smooth bass and drumming to allow everyone plenty
of room to space out. Eventually the
guitar riff becomes much heavier and it builds up like the last track with a
lot of heavy riffing and space sounds.
Black Hole is a 21min long track and it starts off spacey with some nice
melodic guitar playing. The rest of the band eventually joins
in and the track starts to build for a long spacey trip. The track ends in a
pretty relaxed manner. If you like
spacey instrumental rock music you will dig this one. Nice 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..
