Øresund Space Collective – Hallucinations Inside the Oracle (Space Rock – 2017)

 

oresund

———Prolific danish Øresund Space Collective, an ensemble of Dr Space – synths; Hasse – doun douns, bass, talking drum; Jiri – bass; Jonathan – violin, guitar, bass, farfisa, and others; KG – sitar, guitar, synths; Magnus – guitar, synths; Tim – drums is out with Hallucinations Inside the Oracle now for their own label named Space Rock.

———Opening with Reflections in the Minds Eye, a raga-song quickly introduce us the whole mood. An instrumental, improvisational, space, psychedelic release as we would have expected. They scan areas already plowed by many others in the past, in a rock contest.

———ESP opens with a Dusseldrof styled electronic sequence, crazed spaced out guitars, solid rhythmic; later the synth gives way to a different rhythm and groove, always as impro and so on up to the end.

———The Oracle fits a whole vinyl (!) and it’s a summation of what we heard before.

Hallucinations Inside the Oracle is an old psychedelic/raga styled release, but we like that, even if actually sometimes it may seems too long.

Void Generator – Prodromi (Phonosphera 2017)

prodromi

———Void Generator from Rome are back since Supersound (2014) with a different platter. Prodromi is a real free rehearsal impro recorded by only a mic, the audio quality is not really the best indeed, but the feel is very good.

———Two guitars (Gianmarco Iantaffi and Sonia Caporossi) and a synth (Enrico Cosimi aka Tau Ceti) run together, on a solid job of the drummer (Marco Cenci) in vein of Hotel Wrecking City Traders but more spaced out, so they (we) don’t even know where and how the song will end.

———Four long tracks, hints of Colour Haze or Motorpsycho here and there that need a double listening to be into that hypnotic release.

A real jamming trip where the only downside is the audio quality.
