Review by kev rowland

— First review of this album —

This is the first time I have come across Doctors of Space, a project which features Dr Space (Hammond, Mellotron, MOOG Modular, Custom Modular Synth, Nord Lead 2, Novation Ultranova, Octave CAT, Yamaha CS-10) from �resund Space Collective/Black Moon Circle and Dr Martin Weaver (guitars, bass, drum machines, MicroFreak, Cauldron synth) from Wicked Lady/Dark. Apparently, this album is a collage of older tracks mixed with new more electronic pieces to create a single 70-minute-long piece of music which is broken into eight songs if one feels the need to break the listening for whatever reason (just don't shuffle).

Weaver has been creating jam-style improvisational music for more than 50 years, and in Heller he really has discovered a kindred spirit. In turn, Heller is here working with just one other musician, and the result is music which is much heavier and with more direction and loads more guitar than one would normally find on his releases with �SC. In some ways it is closer to the instrumental passages of Hawkwind, yet while punchy it can also still be lengthy and drawn out as the musicians go where they will, bouncing ideas off each other. It is definitely music which needs to be played on headphones, and preferably at night when the stars are out and one can drift away staring into the cosmos.

I have no idea how Heller keeps on top of his different bands, projects and releases, but long may he continue as this is something which captures the ear and will not let go. I hope we hear more from him and Martin Weaver soon.

Thanks to kev rowland for the artist addition.
