“Known among local instrumental music lovers for a great deal of improvisation in their live shows, the concept behind the band is never make the same composition twice and try to do something different every time the trio get together… band tries to explore prog-rock territories while routing the map of late-60s and early-70s psychodelia by using decrepit vintage musical equipment… all recorded live-in-the-studio with no overdubs… This young band could easily turn into one of the greatest space-kraut-prog-psyche outfits you’ve probably never heard of.”
Gas Giant – Jam of the Month (2003)
“Gas Giant is a 3 piece rock band from Copenhagen, Denmark. Their sound blends influences from classic rock acts of the ’60s and ’70s like The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath with a sound and attitude found in modern bands such as Kyuss and Monster Magnet… Their songs evolve organically during epic rehearsal jam sessions, but balance sledgehammer riffs with plenty of catchy hooks.”
Cave – Hunt Like Devil / Jamz (2006)
“CAVE exists primarily as a means of channeling different states of intoxication into a musical form. CAVE also dabbles in telepathic communication. CAVE believes in no things, just states. Inspiration is derived from the environment, both physical and psychological. CAVE would not exist if it was not necessary for CAVE to exist. CAVE is not interested in where you ended up, only how you got there. CAVE is rock.”
Orange Shading Starlight – Orange Shading Starlight (2007)
“ORANGE SHADING STARLIGHT, as the first WICKED MINDS’ official side project, shined on the Italian musical scene for a short period. The early members of WICKED MINDS – Lucio CALEGARI (guitar), Paolo Apollo NEGRI (synthesizers, keyboards), Enrico GARILLI (bass), and Andrea CONCAROTTI (drums) – showed free instrumental jam expression with deep, heavy psychedelia upon their eponymous album released via an Italian independent label W-Records in 2007.”
Zone Six – Live at Sulatron Records Label Night (2011)
“The members of ZONE SIX have one intention – to play improvised music… Recommended to fans of trippy, psych and kraut improvised rock music.”
Rangda – False Flag (2010)
“Rangda, the child-eating demon queen of Balinese mythology, finds a sonic voice via the epic, thrashing jammerisms of Richard Bishop, Ben Chasny, and Chris Corsano. A useful tool for exercising your own demons: pick up the debut album from this evil super group and pump it through your community blaster.”
Same Road – Sensem Przekaźnika Jest Przekaz (2011)
“Fuzzy/spacey guitar and bass sound. Recorded in big rooms with natural echo. Inspired by krautrock, noise, psychedelic, minimal rock. Mostly long jammy tracks.”
Mammatus – Mammatus (2006)
“Taking their name from the heaviest cloud found on our home planet, Mammatus harness instruments and amplifiers with the brave intent of transforming the natural beauty and massive fury that lies in the earth into acoustic energy. Using crude, self taught methods of instrumentation, they bang away for long periods of time employing ridiculously heavy riffs paired with harrowing widdly wah your face off guitar wankery, brain bending electric noodling, and ogre-esque drum bashing.”
Liquid Visions – Endless Plasmatic Childhood Overdose (2000)
“3 extended live recorded psychedelic space rock jams from Berlin based band featuring ex-members of Growing Seeds and Weltraumstaunen. Contains a version of Hawkwinds Masters of the universe”
Musica Transonic – Hard Rock Transonic (2002)
“MUSICA TRANSONIC were formed by three ardent, impressing individualities under Japanese psychedelic rock scene – Asahito NANJOH (bass; ex-High Rise), Makoto KAWABATA (guitar; ex-Acid Mothers Temple), and Tatsuya YOSHIDA (drums; ex-Ruins) – as an improvised, free-styled psychedelic progressive rock outfit in 1995. They have very unique style that each player produces heavy, loud, confusing psychedelia based on simple riffs with insistence on musical attitude and with support of the others, simultaneously.”
