Midnite Snake – Midnite Snake (2004)

“Riding the brink of the stoned rock revolution skates the new heroes of thee electric guitar mayhem, Midnite Snake. Bearded and dirty, Midnite Snake is a Pittsburgh power trio that plays instrumental acid rock until death does part. Members are Alexei Plotnicov electric guitar, Jim Lingo electric bass, Paul Quattrone (Modey Lemon greatness) drums and Fog Hog on electric fog.”

Comets On Fire – Blue Cathedral (2004)

“Comets on Fire are psychedelic rock band that have a heavy emphasis on the ‘rock’ part of the equation… At this point they sounded like noisy proto-metal, heavily influenced by The Stooges, MC5, Black Sabbath, and Hawkwind… Their music is very jam based and loose but it rarely meanders and gets boring. They also use the echoplex frequently, adding to their spacey sound. Any fans of space rock, especially Hawkwind and Acid Mothers Temple, should give Comets on Fire a try. Those who want some trippy prog rock, but with a powerful drive and sludgy riffs should also apply.”

Neumeier, Genrich, Schmidt – Psychedelic Monsterjam (2004)

“Live recordings from June/August 2003 by the trio of Mani Neumeier (drums, percussion), Ax Genrich (guitar), both from 70’s German improv/space rock outfit Guru Guru, and Dave Schmidt (bass) known from Liquid Vision, Zone Six, Sula Bassana & Weltraumstaunen. They jam in the tradition of early Guru Guru and rock out extended instrumental tracks of spontaneously improvised psychedelic spacerock including versions of Guru Guru classics (Stone in, Electric Junk, Next time see you at the Dalai Lhama).”
