Beautiful Scarlet
3 stars Kind of dull. Most of it is boring and the synth sounds are god awful. The singing is solid, the lack of an omnipresent organ makes me sad. No horns, pretty much just guitar drums bass and spacey synths... So yeah I dislike the instrumentation. The music is also not jazzy enough, too psychedelic.

The album starts out at 4* with Solar Musik Suite then gets PRoGressively (hahaha) worse. Reminds me of Tarkus if the sidelong was a little bit worse. The three songs after the aforementioned are straight up ambient filler, no point listening to. Last song is profoundly boring psychedelic guitar jam -> ambient nothing (again) -> eastern drone -> spacey guitar (spacey =/=? psychedelic) -> (got bored and shut it off)

If you like space/psychedelic rock definitely give this a go. My review may seem a bit scathing but the music is fine, just not my cuppa.

Beautiful Scarlet | 3/5 |
