Anjo Gabriel – O Culto Secreto Do Anjo Gabriel (2011)

“Angel Gabriel is commonly referred to in religious communities as a “divine messenger” or a “messenger of God.” Maybe the religious implications of this name were on the mind Anjo Gabriel when the South American’s first formed. Either way, you can not help feeling that this is used as a metaphor by the progressive jam band, as a way of transporting their psychedelic rock teachings to the rest of the world. The Brazilian’s krautrock-inspired sound, dilutes acid guitar swooshes, which are at times, incredibly chaotic, as they interweave through space and time. The self-proclaimed ‘psychedelic messengers’ of South American rock will spread their teachings far and wide.”

Øresund Space Collective – The Black Tomato ‎(2007)

“The Øresund Space Collective (OSC) had their first jamsession in April 2004, encouraged by longtime spacerock-fanatic Scott Heller; aka Dr. Space. The collective is a group of Danish, Swedish and American musicians that get together as often as possible for free form improvised cosmic music. The flavour of the music is different with each session. The stretched out jams can often combine complex interplay between guitar and synthesizer as well intense drumming and bass playing. Sometimes chaotic, sometimes melodic but most of the time funky and cosmic! We enter into the genre of funk, jazz, reggae, kraut, stoner, folk, world, electronica and space rock ( and probably some others) as we improvise our way along. The jam sessions alternate between Malmö and København across the Øresund bridge, which connects Denmark & Sweden.”

Acid Mothers Temple & The Cosmic Inferno – Anthem of the Space (2005)

“Acid Mothers Temple & The Cosmic Inferno is one of many offshoots/permutations of Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O.. Acid Mothers Temple & the Cosmic Inferno differs from the Melting Paraiso U.F.O. not only in line-up but also in style of music. The Cosmic Inferno generally plays much heavier, hard-rock inspired psychedelia, and experiments more with effects pedals.”

Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. – Univers Zen Ou De Zéro À Zéro (2002)

“Acid Mothers Temple is a completely freak out japanese neo-hippie tribe led by the guitarist Malato Kawabata (partially known for previous works published at the end of the 1970s). The band were formed in 1996 under the name Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O (Underground Freak Out). They started their career playing perpetual psychedelic jams very closed to Amon Duul II and Gong at their most gorgeous spacey rock moments… Each album contains its special dose of “acid” musical fantasies, including lot of fuzzy guitars, “stoned” vocals, droning synthscapes and some futurist Eastern raga sounds.”

The Great Society Mind Destroyers – The Transcendental Sounds of the Buddha Smile & the Naked Consciousness (2010)

“Great Society Mind Destroyers is a band out of Chicago consisting of heavy pysch Temple Lurkers. Dip into some exceptional manna of fuzz and wahwah gardens while you continue higher journeys. As the band states: As bodies we mimic the ancients and dance at the fire of ruinous civilization. As minds we realize our oneness with the Divine Void and strive to destroy the barriers that prevent us from the perpetual mystic plane.”

Pyrior – Oceanus Procellarum (2010)

“Pyrior started during the year 2008 as a musician’s community dedicated to jam-sessions. This jam-sessions result in a trio of a classic rock formation, Torsten Bass, Max Appeal – Guitar and Olin – Drums. The music of Pyrior is a round mix of stoner rock and heavy psychedellic rock in a cosmic haze. It burns like a Pulsar and floats in an atmospheric space.”

El Diablo – El Diablo (1999)

“El Diablo is a Mexican band which started playing hardcore, and then some psychedelic rock, they were inspired by bands such as PINK FLOYD,GURU GURU and TANGERINE DREAM to mention a few, they started making improvisations, and most of their early songs are instrumentals, with an obvious GONG influence and psychedelic sound… Their first self-titled album and the only one with a label is great, we can hear some Psychedelic rock and some symphonic passages with some great space effects.”

Tribe Of Cro – Virtual Vinyl ‎(2007)

“TRIBE OF CRO formed in the mid 1990s consisting of Belgian and British members. They are pioneers of instrumental jamming space rock music with an experimental attitude when working in lots of tricky electronics as well as stoner and krautrock elements here and there. The use of dual guitars all over is caring for a lush sound… Every live performance differs which confirms the joy of improvisation.”
