Dust to Dust opens with a classic stoner rock riff and groove but has a many cool parts and solos over the 12mins.. Closed Labryinth (8min) slows things down and is sung in his native language as well and features a sample (in English) that comes in at the beginning. Very clean production and sound but the programmed drums are a bit annoying at times. About 2.5mins in the riff gets heavy.. Some nice keyboard and synth work by Timur Reizis as the track evolves. Vocals are by ŹMICIER ŁUKJANČYK. Disturbing Dreams (over 9mins) starts with some nice melodic guitar with some delays on it before the drums come in and a lovely guitar solo. The track gets more heavy after 3mins. Interesting balance with the laid back vocals of Zmicier. Always interesting to hear a voice and not have any clue what he is singing. The female English spoken word is back at the end of the track. Great track. Space Comics Hero kicks up the speed with a more rocking track with a classic HM riff!! Some nice spacey sounds on this track as well at times. The title track starts with some synths and drums and then the heavy riff kicks in. Super cool and melodic guitar solo on this track.. Maybe the best on the record. THe album ends with Intersellar Racing, another 9 min track with a steady beat and nice delay guitars to start.. This is also a great track and a powerful faded out ending. Ripple should release this. WOuld be a lot more powerful with real drums as well.
Here is a synopsis of the record by Serge:
“A wandering through the pages of the science fiction anthology «Hecto Fuzz», six issues of which are dedicated to various aspects of human existence and humanity. We invite you to a musical journey — from prehistory, antiquity, the recent past, and a look toward a possible future.
Throughout history, Man has periodically approached another edge. The edge of the world known to Man at that moment in time. The edge of knowledge, the edge of skills, the edge of hope, and the edge of technology.
Only biological imperfection interrupts this cyclical process — dust to dust. And the banner of conquering yet another frontier is taken up by the next generation. The endless quest to understand oneself, the world around us, and one's place in it—these are the main themes explored by the musicians on this album. Welcome to a world of dreams and hopes!”
