Hills – Master Sleeps (2011)

2011 Hills psychedelic rock space rock Sweden 3 Comments

“Hills formed as a 3-piece aiming to make music that focuses on the groove/sounds and rhythm instead of the lyrics/message and classical songwriting structures. To create a meditative space heavily dependent on improvisation. To create a feeling but not necessarily to explain it through words. Influenced by everything from the early experimentation of John Coltrane via the repetitiveness of Velvet Underground, Krautrock / Psych in general and the grimness of early black/ death metal bands such as Hellhammer and punk. Hills try to keep it honest, analog and raw in the very best way they can.”

Pyramid – Pyramid (1976)

1976 Germany krautrock Pyramid space rock No Comments

“German acid rock project. The obscure and underrated “Dawn Defender” from 1976 is constantly mysterious, abstract and experimental, delivering interlocking electronic soundscapes punctuated by electric guitar manipulations and echoing effects. The album was originally released Tony Robinson for Pyramid label. A serious “kosmische” krautrock manifestation, a perfect & strange dreamy-like musical journey throw ultra psych textures. Pretty closed to the Cosmic Jokers (first) and A.R & the machines.”

Bëiruth – Horizonte de Sucesos (2009)

2009 Bëiruth psychedelic rock space rock Spain No Comments

“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… “

Galacticka – Apocalypse Psychedelicka (2007)

2007 Finland Galacticka psychedelic rock space rock No Comments

“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.”

Ici Maintenants – Space And Time (2003)

2003 Ici Maintenants psychedelic rock space rock UK No Comments

“ICI MAINTENANTS was the name chosen for a one-off project that took place at the Summer Solstice in Glastonbury in 2001. There former Here & Now members Kif Kif le Batter (drums, vocals), Twink el Toes-Malone (synths, keyboards) and Steffe Sharp de Strings (guitar, vocals) hooked up with Tim Flatus (bass) and played a totally improvised set at the Glastonbury Assembly Rooms, in a manner pretty similar to what often was done at the Free Festival’s of the 70’s.”

2009 Austria Interkosmos psychedelic rock space rock 1 Comment

“INTERKOSMOS are another Sula Bassana side project which formed in early 2008. According to the band name they call themselves the new intergalactic psychedelic space jam band… INTERKOSMOS meet from time to time to participate on festivals without having a very solid structure. The project have produced one eponymous album in 2009 which is full of spacey improviations headed by Ceballos’ fantastic guitar work.”

La Otracina – Tonal Ellipse of the One ‎(2007)

2007 La Otracina psychedelic rock space rock USA 1 Comment

“La Otracina was formed in Brooklyn, NY in the summer of 2003 by drummer Adam Kriney and guitarist Joshua Anzano (now of Tee Pee Records’ Titan) to explore the deepest and most surreal realms of psychedelia, prog, and krautrock, with a major emphasis on improvisational exploration and an uncompromising musical energy. While taking heavy nods from psychedelic forefathers such as Flower Travellin’ Band, Guru Guru, King Crimson, Neu!, Yes, Agitation Free, Blue Cheer, Amon Duul, etc, the music of La Otracina has also been rooted in a deep understanding, appreciation, and influence of ’60s free-jazz/improvisation, the shape-shifting wizardry of classical minimalism, and the extreme music of the Japanese noise/psych underground. La Otracina’s brew of cosmic music is a ride across the galaxy, a slice of magical lemon wedges, a rainbow of crystallized comet dust.”
