You can always count on 3rd Ear Experience for quality space rock styled music. I think this might be their strongest album, though, so that says a lot.
To some degree I really think vinyl is the proper way to hear music like this. Despite what a lot of people will tell you, vinyl has a more open and real sound to it than CD (and certainly digital files or streaming) have.
One thing you can almost always say about space rock is that generally changes aren't quick within the music. That's true of this album for the most part.
While there are many who will argue with this assessment, vinyl and digital media do not sound the same. There is a vitality and resonance with vinyl that you just don't get with digital.
I was so anxious for this album's release that I actually downloaded a copy (legally, of course!) before waiting for it to appear in my local record store.
