Psychedelic/Space Rock definition

Psychedelic Progressive Rock

Progressive rock music has its roots in the mid 1960's psychedelic cultural phenomena. During that time the British Invasion and folk-rock bands began to expand the sonic possibilities of their music. These groups slowly started to abandon the concise verse-chorus-verse patterns of rock & roll, and moved towards fluid, free-form oriented song structures. Just as important was the incorporation of elements from Indian and Eastern music. Along them the principles of free-form jazz were included to the psychedelic sound, emphasising spontaneous emotions over calculated and estimated compositional constructions. Experimenting with new studio technology, electronically altering instruments and voices, was a part of this altered approach as well. Acid rock groups like THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE and CREAM stand as descriptive and popular examples of the path from psychedelic sunshine pop towards a more aggressive and distinct rock expression, in particular showcased in their improvised live performances.

The boundary dividing the "Experimental" and "Progressive" classification is a thin and at times contested one for this era. The pioneering psychedelic progressive rock bands to be found at www.progarchives.com will in most cases be found in the Proto-Prog section of the site. Amongst these pioneering outfits are acts like THE BEATLES, JEFFERSON AIRPLANE AND VANILLA FUDGE. Artists such as PINK FLOYD will not be found there though, as their career extended well beyond these first, formative years.

Psychedelic progressive rock music may contain the elements previously described in varying combinations, but the artistic perspective of progressive rock is another factor. Some psychedelic rock bands stuck to the mid 1960's beat rock style in purist form, not partaking in the experimental development of the impressionistic possibilities of psychedelic rock music others spearheaded. The evolution of the psychedelic depth within a progressive context could be seen for instance in the 1960's recordings of ARCADIUM and BABY GRANDMOTHERS. One good example of early 70's Continental European progressive psychedelic rock is the album by AHORA MAZDA, and from Britain JADE WARRIOR's early efforts fuse psychedelic rock and ethnic music. Current artists exploring the vintage 60's/70's style and sound are acts like THE SPACIOUS MINDS and ACID MOTHER'S TEMPLE.

The entire Western pop culture scene was influenced by the psychedelic culture to some extent, including other prog genres such as Prog Folk. In Germany, artists influenced by the British psychedelic movement formed their own genre called KRAUTROCK. The pioneering early 70's bands in this genre represent the progressive acid rock sound of Germany, experimenting with long instrumental improvisations, emphasizing the use of psychedelic effects and weird electronic sounds. Some examples are artists like AMON D��L, ASH RA TEMPEL, CAN, G�A, NECRONOMICON and YATHA SIDHRA. The PROGRESSIVE ELECTRONIC style emerged from Krautrock. Some of the most influential artists of this genre, such as TANGERINE DREAM and KLAUS SCHULZE, explored a distinct psychedelic musical style at first, which was influential for the development of the "space rock" sound:


Progressive Space Rock

The late 1960's psychedelic rock scene also spawned the birth of the space rock genre. The pioneering acts of this genre assimilated krautrock elements like repetitive hypnotic beats and electronic/ambient soundscapes as they moved away from the common musical and compositional approach. The synthesizer with its bubbling tones and spacey patterns, provoking a gliding flow, is a typical instrument of this genre. Guitars are by preference played with glissando technique and delay/echo effects are heavily used, and elements originating from reggae/dub are fairly common. Several bands combine their live performances with trippy lightshows using random fractals. Albums in this genre will often include at least one long meandering jam based on a main theme, where loops and wavelike fluctuations provides slight variations to this structural foundation.

Stories, images, song titles and album names referring to cosmic themes are fairly common features of the genre. HAWKWIND's live album "Space Ritual" is said to be the ultimate space rock album due to the collaboration with sci-fi author Michael Moorcock. His lyrics are performed by a narrator and underlaid with synth elements. PINK FLOYD can be regarded as pioneers of spacey music during the band's early phase, as exemplified by certain tracks from "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" or the stirring live performance of "Careful With That Axe Eugene" from "Ummagumma". GROBSCHNITT provides another fine example of classic space rock with their epic effort "Solar Music". Other bands explored the space rock sound for a limited time period only. GONG released groundbreaking albums in the genre at the start of their career, while British hard rock band UFO released the extraordinary album "Flying - One Hour Space Rock" as their sole contribution to the genre in 1971.

A space rock scene can be found in most countries sporting artists producing music with a western-oriented or influenced sound. Swedish bands are known for a brisk exchange of musicians among each other. The "Strange Daze" festivals from 1997-2000 showcased the American space rock scene. Japan is an inexhaustible reservoir of artists exploring both psychedelic progressivce rock and progressive space rock. Representative examples of the style are bands such as ORESUND SPACE COLLECTIVE with their focus on long grooving improvisations, QUARKSPACE and OZRIC TENTACLES with their stronger emphasis on electronic elements and VESPERO and HIDRIA SPACEFOLK with their inclusion of ethnic-originating musical components. Other groups like ESCAPADE and THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS represent an avantgarde approach to the genre, whereas SUBARACHNOID SPACE and KINSKI are examples of artists that provide transitions to the post rock genre.


The boundaries of Psychedelic Progressive Rock connected with Stoner Rock and Acid Folk

The 1960's and 70's were a time of liberation, a time of rebellion against rigid rules and strict moral boundaries. In those "freedom of expression" days, an artist would typically herald their liberal attitudes as a mind-expanding trip on stage together with the audience in two ways. One was to realize audio/visually the visual and auditory hallucination as it was, and another was to play their repertoire spiritually and improvisationally under the trip. As for the latter approach, they devoted themselves solely to slow-to-mid tempo playing with low-tuned guitars in a heavy and expansive manner for playing steadily under this twilight condition. In the same time period, this approach to the musical trip was also taken on by some artists especially in the hard rock and heavy metal scene. This new style, drenched in heavy and downer psychedelia, was called "Stoner Rock". The name originates from the expression "stoned", referring to people in altered states of mind while under the influence of psychedelic substances. The Stoner Rock genre was universalized "as a strict musical style only" by the Industrial Grunge Rock genre that gained worldwide popularity in the early 1990s. The common denominator of all the artists mentioned is the representation of their personal cultural and political backgrounds, whilst playing slow-paced depressive songs with heavy guitars and echoic rumbling drums as the dominating features. Most of current outfits claiming to be the so-called Psychedelic Heavy Progressive Rock ones should be much influenced by the traditional Stoner or Grunge Rock as well as the early Psychedelic Progressive Rock. They can be considered as a borderline case between Psychedelic Progressive, Heavy Progressive, and Progressive Metal.

"Acid Folk" can be mentioned as another musical style with hallucinogenic approach. Psych Folk or Psychedelic Folk are other names for this genre, and is vaguely defined as a rock subgenre due to the mixture of folk rock and psychedelic rock. This is a style lacking in strict definitions, and it is contested whether or not the term was actually used at what is deemed the dawn of the genre. It's an undeniable fact that the Acid Folk scene gained some popularity by the efforts of artists in "The Folk Revivalism", but it's important to remember that there were two distinctly different approaches taken by those who helped shape the genre in the mid 1960's. Some folk singers approached a psychedelic rock structure as was popular at that time, while some psychedelic rock outfits tried to absorb and incorporate techniques and elements from folk rock. Both have great importance in the development of Acid Folk, and this may be the reason that strict definitions of the genre cannot be given. In view of the history, it's no exaggeration to claim that TYRANNOSAURUS REX, SYD BARRETT or THE INCREDIBLE STRING BAND in UK rock scene seasoned the "traditional" Acid Folk with a more progressive spice. They, as eccentric or heretical rock outfits, accepted and incorporated Middle-Eastern and Oriental elements or instruments, and the result was the foundation for the current progressive Acid Folk movement. And in the Eastern parts of the world, different acid streams was provided by artists such as TAJ MAHAL TRAVELLERS or MAGICAL POWER MAKO who exerted a great influence on younger progressive bands. Their amazing achievements resides in the twilight zone between the Prog Folk and Psychedelic Prog subgenres.


A path that never ends

In addition of the styles described, psychedelic elements can be found in many other genres of progressive rock. The psychedelic cultural explosion had an immense influence on the western popular culture, and traces of it can still be heard also outside of progressive rock circles. The collective techno rave parties carry on the legacy of the audiovisual attack from the PINK FLOYD concerts in 1968, to cite one example. As the psychedelic movement was a large cultural phenomenon, it is difficult (and maybe unnecessary) to fence it to a clear category. Psychedelic progressive rock has been developing towards several different directions over time, and the task of classifying them as distinct genres and sub-genres is an ever ongoing process, often loaded with strong opinions. The psychedelic rock artists which are not considered as progressive in style are not listed in the databse of www.Progarchives.com. This in order to maintain the site's scope to be a progressive rock reference.

The aim of this description is to be a tool of reference for potential and existing fans of the genre, and we hope that this will aid those who read it to a better understanding of the genre as well as to enjoy and discuss the subject at hand both in the forums of the Progarchives website as well as in other places online and offline both.

Tarot, Part I
Magick Brother & Mystic Sister Psychedelic/Space Rock

Review by Stoneburner

5 stars Spain give us another gift in music Magick Brother & Mystic Sister formed in Barcelona in 2013, and its members have participated in multiple musical projects, among which I'd like to highlight Akron, a Magic Pop favorite. The original project was called Fungus Mungus, where they set the Tarot to music. The band is made up of Eva Muntada (vocals, piano, organ, synthesizers, and mellotron), Xavi Sandoval (guitar, sitar, and bass, as well as mixing), Maya Fernández (flute), and Marc Tena (vocals and drums). The project began to take shape in the early 2000s when the first two met Daevid Allen at the Canterbury Festival. They even released a DVD of the documentary about Gong's performance in Montserrat, entitled "Gong Montserrat 1973 and Other Stories." Maya and Marc joined the project in 2013, forming the band. They began performing live covers of Soft Machine, Skin Alley, and Jethro Tull, before later focusing on their own creations. There's also Krautrock influence?think Guru Guru, early Eloy, or Can?and the Canterbury sound of Gong. You can also hear early Hawkwind and the psych side of Pink Floyd's first records. Right from the first track, "The Fool," you know you're stepping into something special. The band doesn't rush anything. The music unfolds slowly, naturally?like incense smoke swirling in a candlelit room. This is pure, analog-feeling psychedelic prog with deep roots in late-'60s and early-'70s sounds, but it never comes off as copycat. Think early Gong, some Amon Düül II, or even the quieter parts of Pink Floyd's Obscured by Clouds?but more colorful, more melodic.

The instrumentation is full of vintage keyboards (mellotron, organ, Moog), hypnotic basslines, soft female vocals that drift in and out like a ghost in a dream, and guitars that shimmer rather than shred. There's no rush to get anywhere, and that's the beauty of it. The songs feel like Tarot cards being turned one by one? each one opening a new scene, a new feeling.

1. The Fool The perfect opening. Light, mysterious, and playful?just like the Tarot card itself. The melody feels like a character stepping into the unknown, wide-eyed and curious. The drums are soft, the organ dreamy. It's a gentle invitation into the band's world, with that hazy, late-'60s vibe already in full effect.

2. The Magician More grounded than the opener, this one brings a subtle groove and more focused arrangements. You can feel the intention behind the music?like something's being conjured. The synth lines swirl around like smoke, and the bassline really drives the spell forward. You start to sense that this album is not just a collection of moods?it's telling a story.

3. The High Priestess Mysterious and slow-burning. A standout. The vocals are ethereal, almost whispered, and the keys paint this misty, sacred space. The atmosphere is everything here?beautifully restrained, but layered with meaning. You don't just hear this track, you feel it on your skin.

4. The Empress Here things start to bloom. There's a warm, almost pastoral energy?like walking through a garden at sunrise. Flutes and soft guitar lines give it a folky touch, very early Gong or maybe even something out of the Italian prog scene. The rhythm flows naturally, almost womb-like. A nurturing, enveloping piece.

5. The Emperor The contrast to "The Empress" is perfect. This one's more structured, heavier. There's a quiet authority in the rhythm section and more pronounced organ work. It's not aggressive?but it stands firm, grounded. You can feel the Tarot card in the music: power, presence, control.

6. The Hierophant One of the more esoteric pieces. Echoes of Krautrock here?slow, ritualistic pacing, lots of space between the notes. The textures are deep, almost meditative. If the Hierophant is about spiritual tradition, this track sounds like it's channeling some cosmic church service in another dimension.

7. The Lovers Probably the most melodic track on the album. It has a dreamy romanticism to it?tender vocals, gentle guitar arpeggios, and a real sense of connection between the instruments. There's no drama, no big climax. Just two musical forces intertwining. It's beautiful.

8. The Chariot More movement here. The drums pick up, the tempo shifts, and things start to push forward. It's not explosive, but it's clearly going somewhere. Feels like a cosmic road trip?lots of swirling keys and that classic '70s psych-prog momentum.

9. Strength A slower, deeper cut. It doesn't show off?just holds its own. The bass is heavy and grounding, while the organ creates a kind of floating contrast. There's emotional weight here, but no melodrama. It's subtle strength, just like the Tarot card.

10. The Hermit A quiet moment of reflection. Sparse arrangement, more ambient textures. You can hear the solitude in the music. It's not sad, though?it's thoughtful, inward-looking. Like watching the stars alone from a mountaintop.

11. Wheel of Fortune The closer ties it all together. It has ups and downs, changes in tempo, shifting dynamics?just like the ever- turning wheel. There's a sense of motion and resolution. It doesn't end with a bang, but with a kind of knowing exhale. The journey pauses here? until Part II.

Tracks like "The High Priestess" and "The Lovers" are standout moments?not because they try to blow you away, but because they invite you in. This is headphone music. Room-dark, incense-lit, eyes-closed kind of stuff. There's also a strong cinematic vibe?like a forgotten European film soundtrack from 1972.

As an album, Tarot Pt. I is a space to get lost in. It flows beautifully and builds a dream world that continues in Tarot Pt. II. But this first part stands solid on its own. It's patient, immersive, and incredibly well-crafted.

For lovers of cosmic prog, mellow psych, and vintage sound textures. Magick Brother & Mystic Sister aren't just looking backward?they're reaching across time, channeling something old and making it new again. This record is slightly better than their sequel Both are great

Review by Stoneburner

5 stars A Magick and Mystic Tarot

I don't know how many times I've written this, but Spain is experiencing a rebirth, a revival, a new wave of great music?especially in the progressive scene. Just a few days ago, I was listening to a band that I swore was from the late '60s. But no?it's from the 2020s.

Magick Brother & Mystic Sister is a band from Barcelona, Spain, and they feel like a reincarnation of those great psychedelic bands from the late '60s to mid-'70s. There's Krautrock influence?think Guru Guru, early Eloy, or Can?and the Canterbury sound of Gong. You can also hear early Hawkwind and the psych side of Pink Floyd's first records. But what's amazing is that the band still sounds original. They don't just imitate their influences?they use them to create something fresh.

This is the band's third album, and it moves between different atmospheres and textures: layered keyboards, dreamy vocals, hypnotic drums and bass, and long, expressive guitar solos.

Tarot Part II is the counterpart to Tarot I. It's less adventurous than Part I, but it met my expectations as a continuation of the band's journey. It opens with "Strength," and from there the album flows like a long meditation?spacey, atmospheric, and textured. It breaks at times with voices, guitar solos, or delicate arpeggios. It's really beautiful. The music feels organic?it grows and retracts like a living thing.

It's almost impossible to do a track-by-track breakdown because the album feels like one cohesive whole that evolves as it goes. That said, track 9, "The Sun," stands out as something a little different?a kind of refreshing American bossa nova touch. In the end, Tarot Part II confirms that Magick Brother & Mystic Sister are not just another retro band. They've taken the spirit of an era and shaped it into something personal, sincere, and timeless. The album doesn't try to impress with technical showmanship or big climaxes?it pulls you in with atmosphere, feeling, and flow. It's the kind of record you sit with, close your eyes, and let it take you somewhere else.

Spain keeps giving us these hidden gems, and this band is right up there with the best of the new progressive wave. Highly recommended for anyone into psychedelic prog, cosmic vibes, and albums that feel like a journey rather than just a collection of tracks.

5 stars Chronique Magick Brother and Mystic Sister.

Quelle belle découverte psychédélique ! De surcroît accessible. Je fus comme suspendue, devant cette effervescence sonore. D'où émerge une atmosphère spatiale aux concomitances "floydiennes". Mon ouïe fut embarquée par ces effluves vintage rappelant un tant soit peu les beaux jours du groupe GONG dans des sonorités en moins excentriques, plus somptueuses, et voluptueuses de la scène Canterbury's proche également de CARAVAN, plus précisément de l'époque "If I Could Do it all Over again?" Mais, dès le début du répertoire des saccades enivrantes, combinées avec une basse envoûtante, hypnotique, convergent vers des notes radieuses, virevoltantes à souhait. L'ambiance y est "psyché", surréaliste, tribale. À cela, j'ajoute des couches électros pour parfaire l'aspect cosmique. Ça.."vocode" à tout va ! si je puis m'exprimer ainsi. En veux-tu en voilà ! Le combo accentue la prosodie en juxtaposant des réverbérations de voix féminine. Sans être pour autant prosaïque ni cartomancienne, le mystique a certains attraits qui me sied. J'en conclus là, inopinément, pour la première carte du tarot de Marseille " The Fool" l'une des vingt-deux arcanes majeurs du tarot divinatoire. Voilà, à brûle pourpoint, un petit cliché éphémère de la thématique de l'album. Si, je vous ai donné l'eau à la bouche, j'en serais fort aise ! Toutefois, il serait opportun désormais d'apporter de l'eau au moulin concernant nos deux lascars catalans tout droit venus de Barcelone, si j'en crois les infos recueillies. Une anecdote aurait été rendue publique par le duo. Elle évoque l'épisode impliquant DAEVID ALLEN (cofondateur de Soft Machine et créateur de Gong). Cela remonte en 2000 lorsque EVA MUNTADA (piano, synthé, orgue, Mellotron, vocals) et XAVI SANDOVAL(basse, guitares, mandoline, voix , sitar, backing vocals basse/ guitare) l'ont rencontré lors d'un festival à Canterbury où se produisaient GONG, CARAVAN et ARTHUR BROWN. Quelques décennies plus tard, le binôme se lance avec brio dans leur premier projet créatif. Ils choisissent, comme nom du groupe " Magick Brother & Mystic Sister ", en référence au premier titre du premier album de GONG. Cet événement fut source d'inspiration pour le combo puisqu'il s'enrichit de MARC TENA (batterie et chant) et de MAYA FERNÀNDEZ (flûte). Afin de donner vie au projet, Ils publient en 2020 leur premier album éponyme. Le quatuor sort de l'ombre, à la lumière d'une presse dithyrambique. Il aura fallu néanmoins quatre années de gestation pour que les espagnols de "MB&MS" accouchent d'un nouveau projet. Il a vu le jour sous le label grec "Sound Effect Record" le 29 mars 2024 titré "Tarot Part 1". Ce sera le premier volet d'une série en deux parties. Ils s'inspirent notamment des cartes du tarot divinatoire des arcanes majeurs. Pour cette première partie onze cartes seront tirées. Auxquels sont associés onze morceaux plutôt ramassés représentant les cartes du tarot. Mais, avant de me lancer dans la narration des divines cartes. Je souhaite vous faire partager une sensation controversée qui m'amène à cette réflexion. Certes, via ces quelques lignes vous y avez sûrement décelé un élan d'enthousiasme et d'euphorie. Une sensation tout à fait justifiée à l'égard de cette formation. Cependant, que ce fut difficile d'y plonger sans décrocher puis, d'en extraire matière à écrire. Pataugeant dans mon marasme linguistique, il a fallu être assidu, concentré. Il m'aura fallu énormément d'écoute. Est-ce une aphasie, une sorte de catharsis liée à l'extase de ces notes radieuses, virevoltantes, aériennes, cosmiques, relaxantes, oniriques, qui ont traversé mon lob frontal ? Ainsi inoculé, je fus perplexe, confuse, divergente, sans pouvoir y aligner le moindre mot. Aurai-je été plongée dans un songe ? Bref, un autre point m'interpelle. Est-ce une coïncidence, l'alignement des étoiles, une intervention divine ? aurait-elle guidé mon choix pour cette nouvelle découverte ? Quelle qu'en soit la raison, je suis heureuse d'avoir fait ce choix, ô combien judicieux. Cela m'a permis de me délecter d'un kaléidoscope sonore en tout point remarquable de la formation sis Catalogne. Un son rétro futuriste, folk, avec des accointances néo Canterbury psychédélique. Estampillé rock psychédélique/ Space Rock. Avec autant de marqueurs seventies, j'espère sincèrement que vous n'imaginez pas que nos loustics seraient une pâle copie, un prog rétrograde de GONG ? Il n'en est rien, je vous en conjure ! Seul le nom du groupe est un indicatif et un hommage à leur aîné. Ils ont su au travers leurs influences musicales, leurs appétences, trouver leurs propres identités. Et qui plus est, leur empreinte sonore ne laissera personne indifférent. Mais, voyons les cartes que nos hôtes ont tirées pour les convives. La première carte " The Fool" il faut se l'avouer, les jalons avait bien été posés dès l'album éponyme. On retrouve ici, ces sonorités psychédéliques moins déjantées certes, que leur aîné avec une touche cosmique, hypnotique, envoûtante, une orchestration conçue aux petits oignons de derrière les fagots. Wouah ! ça titille les esgourdes vers un voyage onirique. La seconde carte montre le magicien "The Wizard". S'ouvre alors, un narratif et, à l'instar de "The Fool" emporte l'auditeur au pays des songes. La magie opère, l'ambiance psychédélique demeure. Subrepticement se dévoile à l'ouïe des phases éphémères, évanescentes, au piano, à la guitare, au mellotron trois minutes de rêve instantané. Le rêve se poursuit à l'écoute du troisième tirage "The High Priestess" Les réverbérations des voix féminines se superposent sur des séquences folk/médiévales de toute beauté. S'ensuit la quatrième carte "The Empress" les envoûtantes vocalises féminines se déclinent dans l'apaisement et la sérénité. Un moment de nostalgie captivant. S'enchaînent allègrement "The Emperor" trois minutes Canterbury's , cinématographique aux réminiscences de CARAVAN. Quant à "The Hierophant" , les notes mystiques du sitar transcendées par les accords magiques de TONY JAGWAR dans un rythme effréné, apportent l'orient à portée de l'ouïe. "The Lover", les douces harmonies de la sitar évoquent à nouveau les sonorités sino -orientales. "The Chariot", une fioriture de sonorités prog psyché, émerge le long de mon lob auditif. Ne serait ce pas des réminiscences à "Sweet Smoke just a poke" combiné à la magie de la flûte de MAYA FERNÀNDEZ ? Une merveille d'exotisme. "The Justice" Un dream prog Canterbury associé aux harmonies de la flûte et de la voix d'Eva. Épique ! "The Hermit", l'immersion dans un espace sonore méditatif, obscur et futuriste. Intrigant ! L'opus se conclut avec : "The Wheel of Fortune". Un final qui mêle sons et pulsations charnelles. Les combinaisons sonores évoquent une impression d'apesanteur, les voix masculines y sont feutrées et se réverbèrent à l'unisson. Nous sommes dans un tempo plutôt lent, les saccades derrière les fûts fluctuent. L'alchimie agit. La beauté des notes s'enchevêtrent avec légèreté dans une atmosphère psyché cosmique. Une composition à la beauté formelle, comme le sont, l'ensemble des onze compositions merveilleusement orchestrées pour charmer vôtre ouïe et jouir de ses parements sensoriels. Puis, arrive le moment fatidique de la conclusion. Où demeurent sans réponse les sempiternelles supputations, interrogations ? Pourquoi n'ont-ils pas fait un double album part 1 et part 2 ? Est-ce le temps de digérer le premier ? Ou peut- être de faire grimper au rideau l'auditeur d'impatience ? Outre ces questions sans réponse, il me semble également avoir omis d'évoquer la virtuosité du combo, la symbiose qui en émane, condition sine qua none d'une bonne d'orchestration. Puis, le charme des vocalises d'Eva. J'en conclus là mes omissions. Enfin, pour l'avenir, sans l'ombre d'un doute, j'envisage un avenir prometteur pour les Catalans de MB&MS.

Quantum Phase Transition
Ekzilo Psychedelic/Space Rock

Review by Stoneburner

3 stars Another great spanish band

As I've said before, this is a good era for Spanish progressive music. In recent years, we've heard great bands like Malabriega, Noah Histeria, Cielo Drive, Vientos Moderados del Este, Jordi Farreras, Joan Villalonga, and Javier Miranda. The Astronomy Records label has been steadily guiding the genre's train, along with Rafa from the Amarxe label?another Spanish imprint leaving a strong mark on the global prog scene.

Now we have Eksilo, a very interesting band that bursts through the front door with a strong debut. Quantum Phase Transition blends extreme metal with jazz fusion and neo-progressive touches. When I heard the opening track, "Patibulum," I was caught off guard?in a good way. It's a devastating, powerful start. But from there, the album slowly moves away from that intensity and drifts into something more predictable. Not bad, just less gripping. The band clearly has chops?these are skilled, creative musicians? but as the album progresses, the surprise factor fades and things start to drag. Some tracks left me wanting more; others just wore me out.

Eksilo is a great band with a promising future. They're still finding their voice, and that's okay. If the album had a more defined concept or theme, it might've held together better. As it stands, I'd stick with "Patibulum" and "Evolution" as highlights. The rest, while well played, didn't quite land for me and at times slipped into boredom. Despite that Eksilo is a great band that deserves more stars but for now on it has to improve those moments and evolve.

Review by Circuito_Prog

3 stars The particles shift their collective behavior.

'Quantum Phase Transition' is an album that confidently stands on that fine line where restraint is worth more than excess. This mostly instrumental work, with only two vocal tracks (the opener and the closer), dives into a state of carefully measured sonic contemplation.

I came into it without any prior knowledge of the band's earlier material, so I wasn't expecting that raspy voice in "Patibulum" It caught me off guard - in the best way. That intensity, that controlled frenzy, immediately brought Between the Buried and Me to mind, especially those sections where everything seems to break apart, yet never fully loses its shape. You're left wanting more vocals - there's a real curiosity about how that voice, somewhere between clean and shredded, might have blended into other moods across the album. Still, the decision to use it only at the beginning and ending has its own logic - and it works.

The interplay between the musicians feels intentional, but never stiff. There's a constant dialogue; they listen to each other, give space, push and pull. "Brujería" encapsulates that perfectly: tight rhythm, collective growth, and an outro with Spanish guitar that's not just for show or folklore - it closes with identity, with a sense of place.

What truly elevates this album above the average is the keyboard work. It's not background - it's foundation. It builds atmosphere without becoming dense, sustains tension without being predictable. There's a melodic sense always present, yet never obvious; piano, synthesizers, Rhodes, Hammonds... everything in its right place, delivered with impeccable taste. There are moments when a single texture or ambiance speaks louder than any virtuosic solo - and that's not easy to pull off.

This isn't an immediate album, and it doesn't need to be. It has layers, patience, intention. Once it pulls you in, there's no rush to leave - and when it's over, you feel the need to return, just to find something you missed the first time.

This band still has room to grow. Within their style, there are ideas and concepts that deserve deeper exploration. No doubt - their best record is still ahead.

Parallel World
Far East Family Band Psychedelic/Space Rock

Review by Lobster77

5 stars While Germany or Britain are most known for being at the forefront of electronic psychedelic music, Japan certainly had its share of cosmic travelers. One of the best of these groups was Far East Family Band, a band who would gain some stature throughout the world during the latter part of the 1970s. These guys would frontier Japanese prog.

Klaus Schulze was one such luminary to be attracted by this six-piece Japanese ensemble. Helping produce their early albums (the first two albums are very similar, the latter of which was re-recorded and sung in English, and other slight variations), Schulze saw an opportunity to promote cosmic rock all over the globe. However, I always felt the debut album/successor tried too hard to be the next Dark Side of the Moon. The instrumental bits are great only to be ruined by sensitive pop ballads - not Far East Family Band's strong suit I'm afraid.

But it all came together on Parallel World. Focusing on their instrumental cosmic sound and pretty much foregoing the pop commercial-oriented songs, the six-piece Far East Family Band unleashed a gem that easily could have found itself on the Kosmische Kouriers label. In fact, the recording comes closest to sounding like the first Cosmic Jokers album with more focus given to the whooshing synthesizers than the guitars (Schulze's influence?). As one can guess, the two keyboard players are featured most prominently, and it's hard to imagine that Far East Family Band actually had two guitarists as well!

The album opens with 'Metempsychosis' which is a tribal drum and synthesizer atmospheric backdrop piece that sets the stage for 'Entering' which contains some intense fuzz bass and a ripping guitar sequence among the 12 minutes of keyboard ecstasy. Brilliant, and this is one of finest tracks Far East Family Band has ever recorded! 'Kokoro' is psychedelic ballad. This is the sort of piece their first albums featured, so one can get a whiff of this style, if not familiar. The side long closing title track sounds like a long-lost Galactic Supermarket recording and aptly finishes a masterwork of cosmic progressive space rock. 5.0

There Is No Space For Us
Hawkwind Psychedelic/Space Rock

Review by Warthur
Prog Reviewer

4 stars Following the rather transitional Stories From Time and Space, There Is No Space For Us takes the sound of that album, tightens it up, and throws in a few curveballs for good measure - for instance, the title track takes us out of space rock and more into the realm of a sort of space folk, before transitioning into the soundscape territory of The Outer Regions of the Universe. Worry not, though, because heavier moments such as on Neutron Stars (Pulsating Light) have their place as well, and seem to be more prominent than on the previous album. Dave Brock's vocals seem a little distant - not quite buried in the mix, but not especially foregrounded either - and though this is hardly new in the Hawkwind discography (it's often part of their style) it seems to be dialled up somewhat here, but otherwise this will likely please anyone who enjoys recent Hawkwind.

More (OST)
Pink Floyd Psychedelic/Space Rock

Review by Lobster77

4 stars "More" and "Obscured by Clouds" (Pink Floyd's other soundtrack album) are often regarded as side notes to the band's primary development as represented on their true studio albums - and consequently not worthy of the same consideration as the albums proper. I couldn't disagree More, no pun intended.

Obscured by Clouds and More represent a critical component of the Floyd sound that would emerge whole by the early seventies. Whereas the 1968-'71 albums proper are harder and more psychedelic/progressive in their orientation, the two soundtracks are largely acoustic (with some striking exceptions) with strong melodies and great singing (individually and in harmony). Importantly the material on More (and Obscured by Clouds) displays that subtly menacing edge that Floyd's peak work is known for. In fact that combination of a soft melodic veneer with a cold, menacing undercurrent is - I would argue - the essence of Pink Floyd and is demonstrated much better on the two soundtracks than on any of their pre-1973 or post-1975 albums.

The true songs and instrumentals here are all outstanding. The playing is great, the arrangements are really enjoyable and the whole album sounds like a live band recording - not as much like a studio recording. This also has quite a bit of great guitar work from Gilmour.

Strongly recommended for early and mid-seventies Floyd fans. Truthfully you can only listen to Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon so many times before getting tired of them - here are two albums that share many of those qualities that you've never heard once. 4.0

Quantum Phase Transition
Ekzilo Psychedelic/Space Rock

Review by higgins

5 stars This second album by Ekzilo represents a radical evolution from their self-titled debut. It has a magic quality. It mixes a thousand surprising things, and they all fit together. The album never strays, even though he has plenty of opportunities, haha. It takes risks and excels. The instrumental level is very professional. And the composition. The production is a 10/10.

It's a magnificent album (and of Spanish origin). The suite, both in its title and style, demonstrates this absolutely wild evolution. On first listening, with those pauses and changes in key, it leaves you disoriented. But everything works perfectly together (as does the entire album). There are so many different influences here, but this "Quantum Phase Transition" is an album that doesn't deserve musical spoilers; it's better to let yourself be surprised by it. Few albums this year are as surprising and of higher quality.

Eating.Seats Psychedelic/Space Rock

— First review of this album —
4 stars Hey, Porcupine Tree fans....

If Closure/Continuation left you a bit cold or underwhelmed in 2022, if you've longed for an album that evokes what you felt in the days of Stupid Dream and Deadwing, you might wish to check out an Italian release from 2023 called Church. The oddly named eating.seats released their debut back in 2008, and it sounded a bit like an homage to early Pink Floyd with their own twist. Very promising debut. It would take 15 years for their follow-up second album to drop, but the results are worth the wait. And if you happen to be a fan of early-2000s Porcupine Tree, you are gonna need to hear this one.

Honestly, if you asked AI to create you an album that sounded like early/mid 2000s Porcupine Tree but with a slight Italian accent on the vocal, I suspect it might sound like Church. In no way is that intended as disrespect to eating.seats. I'm simply trying to give a quick general understanding of their sound, and that's what I hear. The fact is that I love this album. The songs are heavy and rocking, the moods melancholy but hopeful, dreamy. I feel as if I have found some lost PT album that evokes some of the pleasure I remember when I heard stuff like Deadwing and Fear of a Blank Planet and Stupid Dream for the first time all those years ago. Not only does the guitar style mirror the hyper-smooth/slight fuzz/heavy riffing of PT, but the vocalist sounds a bit similar to Wilson as well. They even layer on the gorgeous harmony technique Wilson perfected on those albums. The last track deviates the most from this sound, moving to a fairly traditional post-rock shimmering/swelling buildup and release. It's an effective closer that brings things down a notch from what is generally a pretty heavy album.

This is a thoroughly satisfying album for fans of spacey, heavy, modern prog in the Wilson-esque universe of sound. Kudos for the very XTC/Dukes of Stratosphear sounding song titles which amused me.
