LIVE AT MEZZO FORTE, MOSCOW, SEPTEMBER '09

While their studio effort of 2007 showcased an experimental and avantgarde type of music, on this live production crafted two years later it is the space-tinged and psychedelic efforts that are lifted to the forefront.

The piano, and later also the organ, are the central providers of the themes explored. Space-tinged synth textures and wandering psychedelic guitar licks provides the stylistic details, with rhythms setting the pace in a nice manner. The drums, often alongside the guitar, tends to wander into more jazz-oriented explorations at times, crafting a rather curious psychedelic fusion sound that is most fascinating when it appears.

A captivating and intriguing live performance for those who appreciate psychedelic and space oriented compositions of the slightly more adventurous kind, which especially in the parts with spoken monologues made me think of Hawkwind's old classic Sonic Attack, with the main difference that Roz Vitalis produce material more refined and sophisticated.
