UK psychedelia moved into prog
rock with spices of hard rock in the late sixties, some even coined a
new label to describe the strong textures resulting of the mixture of
rockier blues sounds, jazz, revolutionized freakbeat and the hardest
side of popsike - ‘heavy psych’. Amongst the best works of the era were
the two splendid LPs recorded by Welsh band Eyes Of Blue. The Eyes Of
Blue where formed in 1966 and soon won the Melody Maker Beat Contest, a
fact that secured them a recording deal with Deram records. The label
issued their first 45s, they were good but -due to company pressure-
more Blue Eyed Soul or even bubblegum oriented. By the time they
released their first LP, on Mercury, their real sound had surfaced,
showing influences by some of the coolest bands from the US West Coast
like The Doors or Love, and also counted on the help of Graham Bond.
Originally released in 1969, In Fields Of Ardath was the follow up to
their superb debut LP, expanding the path of heavy Hammond based
psychedelic progressive rock at its best with their aim of
experimentation. This album contains also material they recorded for the
movie Toy Grabbers in collaboration with Quincy Jones. Members of Eyes
Of Blue would later join Man, Pete Brown & Piblokto! and Gentle
Giant.
The
new Sonologyst album, "Interdimensional", explores the paraphysical
dimension of cosmic music. It completes the dilation process of his
sound, which began with the albums "Silencers" and "Ancient Death Cults
And Beliefs", which now form an ideal trilogy inspired by what is beyond
the boundaries of science.
"Interdimensional" is inspired by the scientist Michio Kaku who theorized what could be the remote future of the human species; beyond matter, the stars, and known dimensions. A future that could lead us to the victory over the end of everything, beyond the foreseen and inevitable death of the universe known to us.
Also a cosmic record in terms of sound, "Interdimensional" is pervaded by a sense of stasis reminiscent of Thomas Köner's isolationist electronics, but still characterised by the use of electrified instruments, analogue synthesizers and recordings of resonant metal objects. Unlike the previous albums, however, the typical dark experimental / post industrial sound of Sonologyst is filtered through hazy warping reverberations and infinite delays, which musically depict the intergalactic journey of a civilization in search of a possible future beyond death.
Music ad astra.
