Liquid Orbit is a new German band
lead by Anders (former Mandragora Lightshow Society organ-synth player) and
some younger folks, including a talented female vocalist (Syliva). The album
features 5 songs in about 40mins and starts off with Time Machine. This is an uptempo organ driven rock track
with a hypnotic bass line. The tracks gets a bit mellow and the vocals become
very high pitched and then they come out of the interlude rocking again. A cool
jammed out track. Lost (hear and see video below) starts off with a lot of spacey noises and testing the
ground before the drums kick in and the slow spacey journey starts with a nice
Pink Floyd like keyboard. The vocals are sung in a very high register and
really were not too my liking at times but the music is really nice. Everyday
Life Depression reminds a long guitar solo and me a lot of Mandragora Light
show society, the way the keyboards are played and the bass groove. Foul Deeds
is quite similar to the grooves of the other track and features a Robby kreiger
like guitar solo and some great organ playing and interplay between Anders and Andree. Hope for a new Summer starts off like Lost with some nice synth sequences and
a slow build. This is probably the track with the most heavy guitar sound. The
track has many moods including a return of the very high register vocal. A
pretty cool debut 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..
