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..

Zone Six- Full Mental Jacket (Sulatron Records ST-2308-2)
All instrumental psych rock outfit Zone Six is back with a new line up and new studio record. Dave has been driving the band since the 90s and nice to see him back on bass in this mainly 3 piece line up with Rainer Neeff (ghost guitars) and Gottfried Klier (Sax) as guest musicians on the long Slingshot track, which starts things off and takes all of side A like a rocket taking off…. High energy space rock with a melodic guitar line that really cuts thru the sound and this is followed by Dave playing some synths. Things slow down and there is a sax solo. The track goes thru a lot of transitions and eventually gets back to the heavy space rock and the main theme it started with returns at 17mins until the end.. Side B, the title track is 10mins in length and starts with some dark mysterious sounds, organ, guitar. After a min or so it gets quite hypnotic with its build up and repetitive bass line. It has a dark feel to it (like the times we live in). A very intense piece of music. Chrono Trigger keeps the dark vibe with a cool synth that comes and goes. It stays in the dark heavy realm. Cool stuff, especially the A side.. If you are a fan already you will dig it…
