Lo-fi studio jams by Finnish psychedelic space rock band Dark Sun. Recommended for astral travellers.
Alien Planetscapes – Life On Earth (1997)
“ALIEN PLANETSCAPES was the brainchild of space rock veteran Doug Walker who unfortunately died of a heart attack in April 2006. The New York based musician has been a prolific keyboarder with a jazz background showing interest in using an experimental instrumentation consisting of synthesizer and other electronics… ALIEN PLANETSCAPES was founded in 1981 then based on an experimental approach with elements of improvisational rock, free jazz and the Berlin School electronic music represented by Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel.”
Hotel Wrecking City Traders & Gary Arce – Hotel Wrecking City Traders & Gary Arce (2011)
Hotel Wrecking City Traders & Gary Arce (2011)
“It’s a cross-continental collision of sounds. Gary Arce is considered one of the founding figures of desert rock. His laid back, airy tone and improvisatory will have been a key inspiration for bands literally all over the world, and when it comes to jams, there are few guitarists out there who can add as much personality to a piece of music as he can. Apart from working instrumentally, they seem to be driven by completely different musical ideals. The two-song, 20-minute release combines the disparate elements at work in the total three players involved for a double-guitar brew that’s based as much on improvisational noodling as it is on noisy crunch.”
Coil – Get The Coil (1998)
Groovy jams from land of the rising sun. Japanese intensity and craziness mixed with 70’s psychedelic blues.
Hellbender – Cosmolux (2011)
Amazing band that combines mind-melting psychedelic jams with loud stoner riffs. Think if Earthless went doomy and started producing OM-like meditations.
Edgar Broughton Band – Untitled Freak Out (2004)
Previously unreleased bonus jam by English psychedelic rock band Edgar Broughton Band recorded at Abbey Road Studio Three 21st January 1969.
Paul Chain “The Improvisor” – Full Moon Improvisation (2000)
Italian doom legend with moniker “The Improvisor” during his improvised space rock period.
The Whirlings – The Whirlings (2011)
Laid back psychedelic jams for meditation by Italian band The Whirlings.
The Hedgehogs – Depths (2011)
“The Hedgehogs is a young garage-psych quartet of Aalborg, Denmark, combining garage and psychedelic rock virtues, with heavy inspiration from the Austin, Texas-psych scene of the 60’s and 70’s.”
Dire Wolves – Jams And The Giant Peace (2010)
“Dire Wolves, currently based in Pittsburgh PA, has a loose membership which often includes Jeffrey Alexander (Black Forest/Black Sea,Avarus, Secret Eye Records), Matt McDowell (Sagas, Dark Yoga, ArcoFlute Foundation), Ian Bonnet, Jennifer Myers, Dan Letson, Davide Manbeard Lifrieri, Joshua Kretzmann and Kenny “K-Doh” Donut. Dudes are on an endless trip of burned-out guitar riffs, stoned basslines, wasted vocals howling at the moon…fuck, I wanna jam! In the back-wash of Fennario, the black and bloody mire/the dire wolf collects his due while the boys sing round the fire.”
