Dubbal is a UK space rock band lead
by Kev (Doctor Brown and many other acts). The band on this release is: Kev Ellis -Vocals , Andy Radburn - Synths ,
Alan Shaw – Bass, Nick May - Lead Guitar and Grunty - Rhythm Guitar. I think this is the 3rd release by
the band with Dubbal I and live at Kozfest being the first two. The release starts with a long space in
that would fit right in with GONG before the guitars and very spaced out vocals
enter into the picture. The drums are very thin in sound and besides the
vocals, the rest of the band is way out in space as is the whole track. This
track leads into Fly on In changes the vibe totally with some reggae mixed with
space rock!! The drums and bass sound
much better on this track. Bring me the head of….. starts with some acoustic
guitar but becomes a classic UK space rock track with all the elements-
powerful drive and guitars, spaced out synths and good lead vocals and catchy
lyrics. I really like the story told in this track. A Hawkwind influence is
very apparent but nothing wrong with that!!! The title track ends this record.
It starts quite dreamy and spaced and then the drums kick in and the tempo
increases and off we go!!!!! The bass
line is really cool on this track. I
enjoyed this quite a lot but the sound production and mix could have been
better for my ears.
This album is also
released on a limited CD-R via the band web site below. The album is released
on Feb 29th 2020.
