“Improvised and experimental alto sax workouts, lead drums, fluid thunder bass and freak out guitar melodies.”
Junzo Suzuki & Snakes Don’t Belong in Alaska – The Ascended Master Teachings of Junzo Suzuki and Snakes Don’t Belong in Alaska (2019)
“This is long form psychedelic rock which has many extraordinary acid-kraut-rock moments which are futuristic and retro. Not for the faint of heart as the music goes there and back again leaving a trail of cosmic debris which sparkles like diamonds in the sky.”
Psychic Lemon – Freak Mammal (2019)
“Psychic Lemon Freak Mammal is a space-rock odyssey with long compositions with dense guitar effects, synth, bass and live drums. These songs are like rockets ripping through the atmosphere.”
Acid Rooster – Acid Rooster (2019)
“Acid Rooster is digging deep into the well of far-out psychedelic rock and has created their own dimension of this mind-expanding vibrational brew.”
Svenska Psykvänner – The Hägersten Sessions (2019)
“Another wedge of primo Swedish psychedelia courtesy of Svenska Psykvänner (translation: Swedish psych-friends). The lengthy, Krautish instrumentals of The Hägersten Sessions draw on Can, Amon Düül and all that.”
Black Moon Circle – The Studio Jams Vol II: Serpent (2016)
“Black Moon Circle is dedicated to dark psychedelic space rock, driven by a disposition towards prolonged jams.”
Minami Deutsch – Minami Deutsch (2015)
“Their sound is influenced by both their love for Krautrock legends such as Can and Neu!, and the band members being self-professed “repetition freaks” who heavily listen to minimal techno. The music proceeds straightforwardly with the Motorik beat (Hammer beat), devised by Klaus Dinger (Kraftwerk, Neu!), as its central axis. Humorous, yet bizarre Japanese lyrics are whispered over a hard, cold beat that is maniacally repeated, creating a pleasant ambience of electronic pulses drifting in space. Sharp guitar tones reminiscent of Michael Karoli (Can) occasionally explode into fuzz distortion, on the verge of collapse.”
Mantra Machine – Nitrogen (2014)
Radio Moscow – Live! In California (2016)
“If you want to find out what is stirring in the heavy psych underground these days then you can’t go far wrong with this record. It’s a supreme live document of a band who are simply on fire at the moment and along with Earthless and Harsh Toke, are revitalising the heady days of the 60’s through their expressive jamming and explosive blues. It is also a stark reminder of how exciting a live album can be and for that alone needs to be heard. A great document of a great night from a great band. Simply great.”
Deep Purple – Scandinavian Nights (1988)
Extended jams by English hard rock band Deep Purple recorded live at Stockholm Konserthuset, November 12th, 1970.
