Review : CD

Intergalactic Dada & Space Trombones features five tracks into deep space. Radar Men From The Moon excels in 10min long The Ego: Centrics (Roumania), Domo (Spain) and Simio (Mexico)-like instrumental intergalactic explorations. Crushing liquid guitarsections by Glenn Peeters with a dynamic Kyuss-ish rhythm-section by Tony Lathouwers (drums) and Jan-Titus Verkuijlen (bass) to move these five pieces through several dramatic and powerful moods. The three young musicians weave a mesmerizing and hypnotic tapestry of sound and  have enough panache and flair of their own to leave a lasting impression.. If you dig stretched out moon voyages;  “Space colonists”  (9.47), “The wire” (9.23), the title track (9.47), “The people who stay on earth will explode” (9.17) and “Moonjuice” (8.37) easily find their way into the emerging fields of space and kraut rock with waves of sounds, looping noises and that drifting cosmic groove that would come to characterize Causa Sui, 35007 and Monkey 3. Heavy on guitarscreeching and a ‘rise to peak’-groove rhythm, synths sprinkling and electronic effects zipping around, “Moonjuice” and “Intergalactic Dada & Space Trombones” are my faves.

So, if you want short and to the point then avoid this record,. If you need your mind massaged the way the best Dutch band 35007 used to do it, then pick this up.

90/100
