HDRSF-01 (EP)

Hidria Spacefolk: five self taught Finnish musicians whose aim is to carve psychedelic visions within their listeners' minds. And they do that well: but unfortunately, they do little else. As far as debut EPs go, the quality here is fantastic (both musically and production-wise). Putting this as a free download on their website was a smart move, and certainly got them lots of attention on this website. Their spacey excursions are not one hundred percent unique, and aren't overly fresh, and neither are they absolutely transcending. But they're very fun, and when on very strong pain killers for wisdom teeth removal, and half asleep, the experiences is actually quite extraordinary. But in the end, it turns out to be a fun album, not overly meaningful or lingering. It's a fantastic start, though, and you psychedelic nuts will love this one.
