KAPITAN KORSAKOV

"The Belgian band has released an album of gritty noise rock of international allure. For next to the obvious Cobain references the band has created a very versatile sound. Opening track 'When We Were Hookers' has one of those soaring riffs Made Out Of Babies would kill for, while 'Cozy Bleeders' on the other hand dishes out a druggy psychedelic trip. The production is raw, but fits the music, and gives the record an obscure, non-commercial edge that adds to the credibility of these manic rockers. (...) The band does prove to have established a solid base from which to start a nice underground career though. I am certain this rips live. Earplugs mandatory."

CAPTAIN BEEFHEART & HIS MAGIC BAND

"Is Safe As Milk a classic? Absolutely! There wasn’t much else going on in 1967 that was as bent as this music, but that’s what makes it so significant.  It’s the origin of a man too stubborn for his own good and ignorant of the elements that make records into products.  It’s aural painting from a legend in the making and deserves a spot in any classic rock collector’s cabinet."

HET DROSTE EFFECT

"Het Droste Effect’s first EP is self recorded on 8-track cassette tape at Studio Casa Cassette Eindhoven, The Netherlands. It contains 4 instrumental tracks ranging from repetitive robotrock to calm ambient to psychedelic kraut and space rock, infused with field recordings and special guests on bass, moog, vibraphonette, saxophone and monotron."

QUEST FOR FIRE

Quest For Fire Myspace

'Lights From Paradise is probably the best psychedelic stoner rock album you’ll hear all year. (...) Quest For Fire has produced in my head a strong contender for the best-of lists at the end of the year and I really hope that you cats don’t miss out on it. It has everything on it, fuzzed out Rawk, some arousing psychedelia, 70s worship, Pink Floyd vocal worship, and just look at that album artwork again, the colours are so goddamn edible.'

HAWKWIND

Hawkwind Myspace

'Doremi may not be Hawkwind's most renowned album, but it carries the same type of prog rock spaciness as their first two releases. Even though the keyboard playing is trimmed down just a tad, the introduction of Ian Kilmister, otherwise known as Lemmy of Motörhead fame, makes up for it. With Lemmy's hard-lined guitar playing and Del Dettmar's synthesizer stabs, tracks like "Space Is Deep" and "The Watcher" are infused with elaborate instrumental meanderings in perfect Hawkwind fashion. The longer tracks, both "Brainstorm" and "Time We Left This World Today," have Lemmy getting settled in the band's extraordinary milieu, but end up being the album's strongest cuts. There's a harder feel to the songs all the way through, with the guitar and drums coming to the forefront ahead of Dik and Mik's "generators" and "hot electronics." Doremi is the inaugural album for drummer Simon King, and with guitarist Dave Anderson and percussion man Terry Ollis now departed, Hawkwind still manages to muster up a firm intergalactic space-metal atmosphere...only with a more rugged thrust.'

ETERNAL TAPESTRY

Eternal Tapestry Myspace

'Beyond the 4th Door contains long stretches of melodic guitar improvisations, dark brooding songs that slowly build and expand to allow in layers of light. The album was recorded in their home studio and was created by recording more that two hours of material, mostly live, and hand picking what you hold in your hands. There is a free and open nature to their structure creating for the listener a spacious environment to explore.'

TAME IMPALA

Tame Impala Myspace

'(...) three-piece TI play with some of the ingredients of arena rock as well but do so in aid of more leftfield, organic sounds and interesting excursions. The result is a cleanly executed and frequently dazzling debut: Innerspeaker is a psychedelia-heavy outing that toys with paisley pop, stoner vibes, and an expansive array of swirling guitars.'

WOBURN HOUSE

Woburn House Myspace

'Beautifully crafted, adventurous and inspiring - this unique band are always tough to pin down. Levitating between the bliss of the finest European avantgarde metal, epic song structures and earthy, organic post-rock tones, "Monstrous Manoeuvres In The Mushroom Maze" unfurls layer upon layer of beautifully textured melody that is driven by a bass drift that reminds us of classic early Lungfish in parts too. And all wrapped up in beautiful artwork painted by Toby Driver of Kayo Dot and mastered by the sound genius of Tom Kvålsvoll.'

'Moccasin, who formed in 2003, are a Denver, Colorado band that mixes melancholy and atmosphere to paint a rather baroque picture. They mix soothing sounds of psychedelic fuzz with depressing tones. (...)
If you want to really feel the music and get totally wrapped up in it, than Moccasin is the band for you. Their sad tones and morose strumming will have you hooked. Make sure you check these guys out.'

Thumlock - Emerald Liquid Odyssey

'Spaced-out mega heavy stoner groove band from Australia whose music has drawn comfortable comparisons with the likes of Black Sabbath and Hawkwind. In 1997 the band issued its first CD "Dripping Silver Heat" but it was the "Emerald Liquid Odyssey" release with it's less melodic, psychedelic, rockier direction which created considerable interest in the band.'

You don't want to miss this one.

Light that shit and listen 'Etherel Blue'.

Highly Recommended!
