VERMA

The album begins with "Space is Open", which begins with some very nice synths, and then shifts into a crunchy psych jam. There are some pleasing harmonies here. Next is "Deathsport", another psych jam that is steadier and more pleasing to the ears. This one is my personal favourite track on the album. The last track is "Not Even Time". This jam is another slow one, and it is embellished with some distorted viola.

"Paramita Tapes" is a good release, but it is far from mind-blowing. If you are in need of some music to create a nice, trippy atmosphere, than I suggest this release.

Ragnaraak enters with guitar feedbacks and evolves to the most agressive, more garage oriented exemplar I'd say, Can styled motoric drums serve some hypnotic approach too. The ponderous Moons is backed by fascinating swirling keyboard patterns - simple but very effective. Amon Duul (Yeti) adopted vocals come in after some time - all in all they provide an exceptional atmosphere here. The melancholic Drift represents a highlight definitely, so much empathy, featuring some irresistible organ patterns again. Nice otherwordly female vocals are included - the guitar runs wild towards the end.

Voces Mysticae finally is wonderfully meandering through space and time. I would always do prefer 36 substantial minutes instead of 72 minutes made of aimless noodling. Featuring trance impressions and motoric kraut explorations, with every minute you can smell that they aren't newcomer anymore. During live occasions, while being enlarged and embellished, this songs are able to celebrate an unforgetable show, I suppose. Great spirit - extraordinary!

Space is open starts with a rather ambient outfit based on oscillating synths, after three minutes though they fall into a groovy drive, definitely hypnotic provided with Can appeal. The following Deathsport meets my taste far more due to a halting trippy rhythm coupled with a slight oriental touch. While swirling around each other synths and cosmic guitars are working hard for a fascinating flow step by step.

The sound quality is not at optimum, I'm missing the trebles, it's a bit tubby overall, but probably with intent, who knows. However the band shows potential here when thinking in space rock terms. Each song picks up a simple motif and then they let it flow while spinning a fine sophisticated web based on slight variations furthermore. Certainly not that easy in opposite to aimless noodling. You can give it a try, just visit their bandcamp page.
