“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.”
“The members of ZONE SIX have one intention – to play improvised music… Recommended to fans of trippy, psych and kraut improvised rock music.”
“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.”
“Fuzzy/spacey guitar and bass sound. Recorded in big rooms with natural echo. Inspired by krautrock, noise, psychedelic, minimal rock. Mostly long jammy tracks.”
“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.”
“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 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.”
“Somewhere in the late 90’s 4 Russians met in NYC and formed this jam group for the higher spirit, following the road and/or spirits of Amon Düül I, Faust, High Rise, Keiji Haino and Ya Ho Wha 13. And the music indeed has the mad fuzz, bass, noise wall psychedelic extremeness of some Japanese psych (Acid Temple, High Rise, White Heaven, some of Haino’s groups), and some spiritual musical breakthrough with the music focus of YaHoWha 13, some slightly chaotic trippy patterns of Amon Düül I, mixed with an improvisational focus of the more advanced experimental Kraut in general. The guitars are penetrating in its improvising towards the infinite, with fuzz noise that keeps up the trippy effect, while the bass is almost swimming while moving-mountains-wise, with the drum in a freeformed slamming mania.”
“Full-on hard rock jams, featuring extended skronky guitar solos, wah-wah-inflected Hendrix-ian guitar solos, piercing metallic guitar solos, and what-on-earth-is-that-noise guitar solos.”
“In the early 90’s, in a back street garage somewhere in Bristol, Simon, Hugo, Wayne and founding member Dave Spencer would jam for hours and then retire to Simons house for tea and a ‘chat’ until we could barely communicate. These were happy days and we really didn’t give a fuck about anything other than getting in that garage, away from the scum outside, and turning those amps up to 11.”
