“Centralstödet is essentially a live band, and it’s in this setting that their fire burns brightest. The band clearly hasn’t been sitting on their hands since we last saw them, as these recordings indicate a marked refinement of technique and a vivid expansion of the fundamental Centralstödet sound into new and exciting psychedelic territory. Loops and overloaded echo unit sound bounce around the stage during and between cuts, and the signature mountain troll stomp carved out on Solkurva by the rhythm section of Joni Huttunen and Jonas Fridlund is leavened by the band’s sense of deeply woven inter-connectivity.”
International Harvester – Skördetider (Harvest Times) (2001)
Previously unreleased bonus jam by Swedish psychedelic rock band International Harvester recorded on August 10-12th 1968 in Nacka Aula, Stockholm.
Truth And Janey – Topeka Jam: Live 1974 (2016)
“The celebrated Iowa hard rock trio is captured here in raw form doing what they did best, stretching out into extended jam sessions featuring heavy guitar action from Billylee Janey, booming fuzz bass from Steve Bock, and Denis Bunce locked in the zone behind his drum kit.”
Kandodo / McBain – Lost Chants / Last Chance (2016)
“A meeting of like minds surfing the sonic highways to tonal oblivion. These four castaways on Sonic Island have delivered an album that evokes the long lost and revered genre “Drug-Rock” a true mind melt of acid abandonment! Tab-era Monster Magnet, Sessions Era-The Heads—purely visceral and pummelling workouts of a krautrock and pschedelische.”
Kanaan – Windborne (2018)
“Oslo based trio Kanaan quickly established themselves as one of the most important groups in the youngest generation of psychedelic impro-rockers. As accomplished players – all three educated in jazz – they marry fiery energy with musical intricacy, and possess a rare ability to balance power and delicateness. They devote as much energy to exploring airiness and atmosphere as they do to intensity.”
OZO – Saturn (2020)
“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.”
