The most recent record of this heavy American acid rock group reaches to even further heights in spontaneous psychedelic rock impressionism. "Slave Cylinder" kicks in straightforwardly to the acid maelstrom. Heavy riff cycles are relieved by faster opening of the rhythm and powerful Cream reminding guitar solos. "Sand, Stone and Pearl" more tender starting, misty nocturnal sea to swim, some vibrating tones and marimbas enrich the sound palette pleasantly, and ensure pleasant content to relentlessly lasting flow of sounds. Fading solutions maybe only minor flaws on this disc, which culminates to the over half-hour long tune "Saturn Missile Battery". On this epic stoner wandering I especially liked how the building of rhythm is left mostly to the drums, guitars focusing much in melodic territories, and thus escaping the usual riff-oriented sludge metal solutions. This also strenghtens the vintage associations when compared to many other current psychedelic heavy bands. The album closer is a more relaxed and casual psych-rocker in vein of Hendrix's "Driving South".

It has often fascinated me how to get out most of the potential from basic rock trio without singing and conventional pop song's compositional and arranging elements. This band brings an answer to my search among with the Earthless, however here with even lesser associations left relating to the post 1970's heavy metal sound manners. So, in my opinion a really beautiful aggressive acid rock band, which's evolvement both in quality and style is evidently preserved to their discography, and this being currently the most prolific of the albums I have heard for me. I personally felt that the spontaneous psychedelia from the dirty streets has grown to more divine states, like the name and album cover also suggest. I would strongly recommended this to the fans of open heavy psych improvisations, carrying the torch lit on the concert stages of Hendrix and Clapton in the 1960's.
