The fourth album from this band from Denmark.
The band is a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass and guitars.
Two guests added guitars, electronics and saxophone.
This ship returned again with their fourth album.
A seventy-five minutes long album is what we are being treated to here. The music is still space rock from outer space. But there is a difference here... a big one from their previous albums.
The saxophone.
In the bottom of the sound, we get the bass, drums and guitars. On the top of that, and pretty dominating too, is the saxophone which is dancing and twisting along with the music. That gives the space rock a jazzy feel. It is like avant-garde jazz meets space rock.
The result is overwhelming over seventy-five minutes. The saxophone solos is unrelenting and the music is pretty hard.
The quality of the compositions here is somewhere between decent and good. The saxophones adds a huge amount of originality to the music. It is like the music is it's own genre. This album is indeed pushing the envelope of both avant-garde jazz and space rock.
The music is a heck of a rackett. Play this on load speakers in public and the general public, even the more tolerant ones, will run away in panic.
It is still a good album though. Barely good, but still a good album. I wonder what the next album will bring....
