This is a cool album. It’s essentially instrumental, but one song does have some spoken things. This group is three people going under the monikers that make up the group name. They are joined by three other musicians. This is space music, but it’s pretty wide ranging within that heading. There are things that call to mind artists like Hawkwind, Pink Floyd and Tangerine Dream. Other things though work into world music and other territory. It’s quite a ride.

Trippy electronics with a bit of drone vibe start this. After a time other elements join and it starts to resemble very space Pink Floyd with some Tangerine Dream in the mix. This works forward through a lot of great space rock shifts and changes. Nothing changes quickly, but it really builds and works into different directions. There are definite hints of Hawkwind at times here, but the Floyd and TD things probably dominate really. A harder edged jam around the five minute mark (and another about four minutes later) in particular reminds me of Hawkwind. The space that takes it out also feels a lot like Hawkwind.

At almost eleven minutes in length, only the opener is longer than this one. Space elements and sitar combine to create a trippy space psychedelic excursion at the start. It gets more sparse and space as it continues, making me think of some of the more open music of early Pink Floyd a bit. It eventually works out to more rocking music as it continues. There are hints of world music built into this along with jazz and other things. By the time it nears the ten minute mark it’s really become a powerhouse space jam with a bit of a dervish built into it.
