Quad was a Gary Ramon (Sundial) solo project from the
early 90s. It is a pretty rare record now (I have the original!). This is a
rerelease of that classic record and it is still amazing today. I had not heard
it for some years and was still blown away but it. It is very inspired by the
German masters of the early 70s including the song titles. It starts off with
Tempel (15mins) a spaced out sitar experiment with drums, bass and a lot of delay. Super cool stuff. Projection
is the 2nd track ( you can hear both below) and starts with a like 40s horror
film organ improve before the drums, sitar with lots of delay and bass kick in.
This one also has a very spacey and psychedelic sound but the organ plays a
very important role and the sitar (and guitar) a more secondary one. Spaced out
sound. Revisitation Mantra is 21min track and takes the entire 2nd
side. One long trip to blow your mind. A
classic record. So cool it is out on vinyl again and also in a double CD format
with the 2nd Quad record due next year.
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..
