“Tracking down the almost erased paths that walked the KrautRockers, the PhycheRavers and the Hippy Travellers in the Seventies, they fall into a no-song instant and continuous extemporization, when nothing repeats, assuming all the satisfaction and risks. You never play/listen again that you’d played/listened the last time… Mix their old Rock instruments with new (and not so new) audio generators and start to play with some regularity checking amazed that in every line that they open, there are some more… To infinity and beyond. Ball of Probability, Folk of Chaos, Space Boogie, Magik Mother Invocation, Infinity Loop, the Music of Spheres to heat and burn your mind… “
Bland Bladen – I Grévens Tid (2003)
“Bland Bladen are a psychedelic/space rock band that likes to jam and will appeal to fans of Hidria Spacefolk and Ozric Tentacles.”
Koi Pond – So Higher (2012)
“Koi Pond is epic all on its own. Volcano is all about cosmic grooves, deep often minimal, endless repetitions that slowly evolve into more psyched out blissed out trances. Roper and Arons tight rhythmic foundations create the perfect backdrop for Vogal’s synth improvisations. This is a meditative listen that never gets old, it just keeps grooving on and on forever. Like Neu covering Dark Magus in a Tibetan Monastery.”
Silver Bullets – Free Radicals (2009)
“Kraut-funk, coned-out drone rock, and assorted experiments with space and time. Wade through bluesy head-nodders, Italian fuzz contests, interplanetary bleeps and blips, and liberated dance songs for anti-environments.”
Moon Phantoms – Moon Phantoms (2009)
“Moon Phantoms is a collaboration between the bands Bardo Pond and Suishou No Fune from Japan. This record (Self-Titled) came about as most of these collaboration records do by two bands doing a tour together, hitting it off and deciding it would be fun to record a session together.”
Flower-Corsano Duo – The Radiant Mirror (2007)
“Powerhouse hook-up between Mick Flower of Vibracathedral Orchestra and free drummer Chris Corsano. Flower plays a Japan Banjo here, an instrument that’s somewhere between a lap steel and a sitar, with swallowing drones giving way to shredding single note lead work while Corsano speed-thinks his way out of his own skin.”
Transitional Phase – Transitional Phase (2006)
“The jams recorded here range from the first phase’s free-wheeling deep psychedelia and subterranean sonics to the quiet horror-filmisms of the second phase and the third phase’s experimental rock, taking cues from the motorik voyages of Neu! and the guitar-laced epics of Ash Ra Tempel as well as the fuzz-drenched sounds of cohorts Bardo Pond and Comets on Fire.”
Galacticka – Apocalypse Psychedelicka (2007)
“Galacticka plays waste of space rock. This state of [of the art] groovy apocalyptic audiowaste is achieved by combining classic space rock elements with dark psychedelic sounds and monotonous stoner themes. If the overall sound of Galacticka remains undefined in subjective audiospace, it must be heard in the far reaches of the brain. That IS the point of Galacticka. Use in high dosage levels and let yourself remain in waste of space.”
Tolmunud Mesipuu – Koger Ja Panter (2010)
“Tolmunud Mesipuu means “A dusty beehive”. There are three of them in the band, and speaking of alien languages, such as Estonian, you won’t hear it much at their show. It is purely instrumental music. For some, it is simply mental. TM’s critically acclaimed debut album paints a hypnotic, dissonant and manic landscape – it might as well be forgotten 70’s cult trash movie, which people watch just for the soundtrack.”
The Bakerton Group – The Bakerton Group (2007)
“The Bakerton Group is a side project of the rock band Clutch, comprised of Tim Sult, Jean-Paul Gaster, Dan Maines and Neil Fallon. Per Wiberg (Opeth, Spiritual Beggars) handles the organ duties on their newest recording, El Rojo. The band is completely instrumental and their recorded songs are very similar to the extended jams they do in a live setting.”
