Talented US band that plays tasty jammy heavy blues in best traditions of 70s psychedelia.
Sylvester Anfang II – Sylvester Anfang II (2009)
“Continuous jamming, during which the band zoned out and unfurled some gorgeous sprawling psychedelic krautrock flecked jams, jams that seemed to gradually evolve into hazy drugged out ragas, all woozy bass lines, simple motorik drumming, wheezing organs, spidery guitars, and soft hazy clouds of effects, everything blurred and smeared into gauzy expanses of minimal ritualistic drift. But the magic of SAII is that for all of their abstract drug rock exploration, they’re also masters of freaked out psychedelic space rock blissout.”
White Hills & The Heads – Collisions V.1 (2009)
Split by seeking piece of mind psychonauts.
Xhol – Essen 1970 (2009)
“Xhol Caravan, known first as Soul Caravan and later as simply Xhol, was one of the first bands participating in the launch of the Krautrock movement in Germany in the late 1960s. Their music draws from varied influences and fuses rhythm and blues and free jazz with a psychedelic rock sensibility… The live recordings include improvisational pieces stretching in some cases well beyond 25 minutes in length.”
Weltraum – Fusion.Dub.Station.09 (2009)
“WELTRAUM have been founded in 1999 as a psychedelic jam band. Until then a lot of musicians joined the project. They recorded several meetings to find the ultimate way to celebrate sessions without any laws and borders… WELTRAUM are highly recommended to fans of mind-blowing spaced out music.”
Sleestak – The Fall Of Altrusia (2009)
30 minute jam recorded live and edited by Entheogen. Manner of improvising out there in space resembles minimalist experiments of guitarist Manuel Göttsching who played in legendary krautrock bands Ash Ra Tempel and The Cosmic Jokers. Band is loosing in mind-altering psychedelic bliss. This is how euphoria inducing music sounds.
Sadhu Sadhu – Live at the Hideout (2009)
Heavy psych trio from Chicago with lots of repetitive groovy fuzz bass and wah-wah guitar. Think if Les Rallizes Dénudés mixed with Jimi Hendrix. Raw psychedelic freakout jams recorded live.
Temples – Temples (2009)
Slow improvised stoner doom played by finnish group. Think if Sons of Otis made jamming central part of their music. Massive heavy riffs flavored with psychedelic solos.
Cary Grace – Green Carrot Jam (2009)
“Cary Grace composes, produces and performs music, which is strongly related to the classic British psychedelic progressive rock sound… On her records she sings, and plays both guitar and vintage synthesizers. With her collaborators she creates moody music with strong composed melodies and lyrics, and also providing space for free cosmic jammings. The melodic side of her music could be compared to early 1970’s Pink Floyd, and the sound of analogue synthesizers in the improvisational sequences has little similar feeling as some of the Hawkwind records have.”
Mighty Baby – Live in the Attic (2009)
“UK act MIGHTY BABY was formed in 1968, featuring several members of the newly disbanded outfit The Action… In later years archival concert recordings have surfaced from time to time, capturing a band keen on improvisation while performing live.”
