“Formed in 1991, The SPACIOUS MIND have since become known as one of the world’s leading psychedelic bands. Their music owes as much to the acid haze of the San Francisco ballrooms in the late 60’s, as it does to the unknown areas of space, heart and time. The twin guitars are battling over a steady drums/bass background, while the atmospheric keyboards are swirling in and out of your mind, and together they create a melancholic tapestry of sounds that should please anyone into consciousness raising or simply the message of LOVE.”
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.”
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”
Major Stars – 4 (2003)
“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.”
Abunai! – Round-Wound (2000)
“For their 3rd album, Abunai! took some of their best recorded jams and improv sessions and strung together a ‘Tago Mago’-inspired tapestry of deep, flowing psych-rock and space madness. Great sounds for driving, or for mapping inner-world topographies.”
Hills – Master Sleeps (2011)
“Hills formed as a 3-piece aiming to make music that focuses on the groove/sounds and rhythm instead of the lyrics/message and classical songwriting structures. To create a meditative space heavily dependent on improvisation. To create a feeling but not necessarily to explain it through words. Influenced by everything from the early experimentation of John Coltrane via the repetitiveness of Velvet Underground, Krautrock / Psych in general and the grimness of early black/ death metal bands such as Hellhammer and punk. Hills try to keep it honest, analog and raw in the very best way they can.”
Pyramid – Pyramid (1976)
“German acid rock project. The obscure and underrated “Dawn Defender” from 1976 is constantly mysterious, abstract and experimental, delivering interlocking electronic soundscapes punctuated by electric guitar manipulations and echoing effects. The album was originally released Tony Robinson for Pyramid label. A serious “kosmische” krautrock manifestation, a perfect & strange dreamy-like musical journey throw ultra psych textures. Pretty closed to the Cosmic Jokers (first) and A.R & the machines.”
Golem – Orion Awakes (1973)
“An obscure instrumental Krautrock band from the 70s. Ecclectic, psychedelic epic rock with lot of Hammond organs, heavy drums and jamming guitars. Their album Orion Awakes (1973) belongs to Pyramid Records archives. Amazing, catchy improvised free spacey rockin’ trip that can reminds the best efforts delivered by early Pink Floyd, Gila, Dies Irae, Jane.”
Bëiruth – Horizonte de Sucesos (2009)
“Tracking down the almost erased paths that walked the KrautRockers, the PhycheRavers and the Hippy Travellers in the Seventies, they fall into a no-song instant and continuous extemporization, when nothing repeats, assuming all the satisfaction and risks. You never play/listen again that you’d played/listened the last time… Mix their old Rock instruments with new (and not so new) audio generators and start to play with some regularity checking amazed that in every line that they open, there are some more… To infinity and beyond. Ball of Probability, Folk of Chaos, Space Boogie, Magik Mother Invocation, Infinity Loop, the Music of Spheres to heat and burn your mind… “
Bland Bladen – I Grévens Tid (2003)
“Bland Bladen are a psychedelic/space rock band that likes to jam and will appeal to fans of Hidria Spacefolk and Ozric Tentacles.”
