Sounds Like: "Somewhere in the late 90’s 4 Russians met in NYC and formed this jam group for the higher spirit, following the road and/or spirits of Amon Düül I, Faust, High Rise, Keiji Haino and Ya Ho Wha 13. And the music indeed has the mad fuzz, bass, noise wall psychedelic extremeness of some Japanese psych (Acid Temple, High Rise, White Heaven, some of Haino’s groups), and some spiritual musical breakthrough with the music focus of YaHoWha 13, some slightly chaotic trippy patterns of Amon Düül I, mixed with an improvisational focus of the more advanced experimental Kraut in general. The guitars are penetrating in its improvising towards the infinite, with fuzz noise that keeps up the trippy effect, while the bass is almost swimming while moving-mountains-wise, with the drum in a freeformed slamming mania. The music on “Silence in the Space of half an hour†in some way is structured and focused enough to its infinity it really works very well for me. The second track, “And they sang a new song†is even more in the direction of Acid Mother’s Temple, and creates a hypnotic wall drone of a jam, when psychedelic almost becomes like ambient punk. Near the end one of the members starts to scream in outrage. I like these tracks, but I'm not sure how many people would not simply die from a heart-attack when listening. The group called these recordings “a love songâ€. Be warned". (PSYCHE VAN HET FOLK of www.radiocentraal.be Antwerp)
