Frozen Planet 1969 are back with their
3rd release and 2nd this year. The band really is on a
roll and this one sounds like it could have been recorded at the same session
as the bands last record. I had this cranked up while sitting out on the patio
staring out to the mountains and forest and was taken on a real journey. The
bass sound is fantastic on the record and some amazing lines and grooves that
give guitarist, Frank, a lot of space to do his thing and he does it!!
Signals
is a short intro piece that leads into the Celestial Gambler. A bit of spacey
guitar and then the bass fades up and straight into a fast groove with some killer
guitar soloing. Later there is some slide guitar as well. Later it gets quite
funky and the bass playing is killer. Wow.. Throough Hell’s Kaleidescope Pts 1&2, is a
13mins freakout. Starts with some really far out effected guitars and delays as
the bass and drums just keeping driving the train. Around 4mins Paul kicks into more traditional
guitar soloing and less effected as the track comes down in speed. Then there is a lot of freaky guitar and great
bass by Lachian. It starts to pick up again around 9 mins. The Lady and the
Archer is only 4mins and starts with a sort of Robin Trower like guitar. This
is a way more traditional rock instrumental then the two previous freakouts!
Ancient Wings Taking Flight is the last 14min track. It starts off quite slow
and experimental and later becomes stoned and bluesy. Another pretty damn cool record. Released in Europe by Headspin.
Fans
of JPT Scare band, Earthless, Black Bombain, etc.. will dig this band.
