Some reviews:
"'A Wound In Eternity' owes as much to Hawkwind as it does to Sleep,
and at times the sound reminds me of early Monster Magnet. This is a
fuzzed-out, spacey freak-out. The drums pound along in a manner that
would make Keith Moon and John Bonham both proud. The guitars are
fuzzed-out and drenched in reverb and delay, providing an excellent
ambience. The vocals easily hearken back to the 60s/early 70s. Lyrics
about space and all things space-related abound throughout the whole
disc. Everything in the mix has a place here and it all sets a great
psychedelic tone without sounding dated or forced. Farflung is a band
with one foot firmly in the past and the other set light years into the
future. I can only hope that this is just the beginning of a long trip
yet to come." Dave Warren
"Mesmerizing beyond belief, heavy with crushing, distorted
guitars never venturing far from similar chords played over and over
while at the same time mixing color bending orchestral schemes (ala
Pink Floyd) with synthesizers that play tricks with your intellect.
With a fascinating ear for the different, the boys of Farflung take
their sound to the very extreme, and somehow never worry about bringing
you back. With sounds, voices and special effects that seem to come
from the deepest, darkest places of space, tracks use delicious mind
warping techniques to grab on to the listener. For those wanting a mind
f**k of a trip, this is about as different and unique as one could hope
for. Intense with the sounds of punk, futuristic melodies, fuzzy
guitars and haunting, lingering voices, Farflung is deeply committed to
providing an element of the unexpected. Turn out the lights, put on the
headphones so to be able to hear each and every chord, note, effect,
and passage that is 'A Wound in Eternity'." Franco Wissa
"The new album from Farflung has my mind swirling as much from
the sounds as from the sheer number of influences represented here.
Theres obviously the sludge of early metal like Sabbath, some Ted
Nugent like grooves, the raw unbridled beats of early 80s punk rock
and a healthy dose of early psychedelic spacerock. Its all swirled up
into a moving mass that sounds like it would be perfect to have playing
in the background while you watch some 1970s sci-fi oddity like
Zardoz. The mixture of early metal and punk rock is here in all fuzzed
out, revved up glory but there is also plenty odd noises and layers of
floating, sometimes textured music that gives it a trippy feel at
times. Also the production values are high which helps immensely with
this kind of music. This is undoubtedly music where you need to get a
CD player outside at night, lay down and gaze up at the stars and take
in all the sky and this music has to offer." Mark McKinney
Give them a listen spaceheads....worthy of a place in my opinion!
