THE DRIFTER

Swedish space rock band THE SPACOIUS MIND have been an ongoing venture for more than a quarter of a century, starting out in 1991 and staying very active for the next 15 years or so. The last decade have seen band activities fade a bit, but as far as I know the band are still existing, albeit now in a more sleepy phase. "The Drifter" compiles material by the band that have become difficult to track down these days, and was released through US label Trail Records in the fall of 2018.

Trail Records have developed a good reputation over the years to seek out and find artists that for some reason or other isn't as well known as they deserve to be, and in The Spacious Mind they have added one more jewel to their roster. Fans of progressive and psychedelic rock are obviously all too aware of this, as I understand that the first print of this CD sold out fairly quickly. A second run has been done though, so there is still a chance for fans of this kind of music to get hold of this CD. Knowing the market for physical CDs these days, I rather suspect that a third run will not happen though, so those who know and know their space rock will have to make a relatively quick decision on whether or not this is a CD they should get hold of. For my sake I'd say that this is a CD that is pretty high up on a must buy list for fans of this kind of music.
