Press Reviews
Dave Wexler on guitars and freaky vox teams up with Paul Williams on keys,
electro-percussives, vox, and freaky vox to make space-trance rock magic.
Serious cool, head-trippin' tunes here. They hit the T.
Dream/Hawkwind/improv rock nail, squarely on its cosmick head. Quality
cerebral voyages? Inquire within. This CD is the ticket. Williams'
electro-mayhem zapped me into Tim Blake spaces wherein dwelleth the happy
void. Wexler's guitar and Williams' atmospherics on "Orion" and "The Sutler"
brought to mind little-know Bark Psychosis and Spaceman 3. "The Third Wheel"
is deliciously ominous improv suitable for any cyberpunk, sci-fi flicktrack.
Well done, robotically speaking. "Ode To Death" is a Larry Fastian behemoth
rising from the depths, the stars of forgotten millenia coalesce, its frame
glistens as a freaky vox incantation of doom proceedeth. "In The Caverns Of
Spacezilla" is Synergy battles Rubycon. "Alfred's Flashback" is echoes,
drones, phased psycho-chatter, channel-to-channel ping pong as in a W.
Carlos nightmare. Pinhead of Hellraiser would enjoy this as he oils the
Lament Box. Wexler waxes Oldfieldish as Williams lifts Maxfield Parrish
soundvisions all around the epic/saga, guitar voyage. I could've stood
another 10 minutes of this one. Of 11 tracks ranging 1:39 to 10:03, many
over 7:00, there is plenty of material to satisfy any spacerock/ambient
synth fans.
