Press Reviews
Orange Entropy Showcase at City Gardens in TrentonReview by Mike FantryOn the cold night of January 30th, I witnessed an event all too rare these days--a good old-fashioned showcase of some kick-ass bands. The show was held at the newly re-opened City Gardens in Trenton, which many of you will remember from a few years back.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------...The difficult task of following Ben was the very capable Great Glass Elevator. Their melodic sound and strong back-up vocals really made these guys stand out on such tunes as "Look at the Hippo" and "Lagoon." All in all, a very good sound, very alternative...--------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Great Glass Elevator – HAVING BEEN SWIMMING: 16 tracks on this“OrangeEntropy” CD release. The trio is self-described psych-rock, &(surprisinglyenough) had (just) a tinge of that early psychedelic energy that we usedtofeel when our joints set the woods on fire (out behind the Armybarracks,while stationed in Germany). The recording suffers a bit from slightlysloppy intros, not quite precise enough for my tastes, but the main bodyof(most of) the songs could almost take one back (or izzat forward) tobanannapeel frenzy. I really dug on track # 4, “Outback”... not sure why, justfelt good I guess. For the retro-psych fan, this clocks in with aRECOMMENDED.
