So let's not talk of love and flowers and things that don't explode...

Band: Hawkwind
Album: Doremi Fasol Latido
Origin: Great Britain (London)
Genre: Space Rock
Year: 1972

I've been listening to a lot of Hawkwind lately so I decided to post another one of their classic records. This is their third studio record and the first one with Lemmy and it includes many classic Hawkwind tracks like Brainstorm, Urban Guerilla, Lord Of Light, etc. Enjoy!

So she poured out the liquid music of her voice to quench the thirst of his spirit.
















Band: 35007
Album: Liquid
Origin: The Netherlands (Eindhoven)
Genre: Space Rock, Stoner Rock, Psychedelic Rock
Year: 2002

I'm still too busy to write a review, but I can tell you that this is a great record by a great band! Enjoy!

"35007's third full-length release, 2002's Liquid, is a fully instrumental, conceptual effort consisting of just four songs that, one presumes, are meant to illustrate the fluid state in musical form. Not only do they succeed in this endeavor, 35007 also churns out some truly inspiring and out-and-out cinematic sonic vistas that in the end coalesce into a single, awesome musical wave (pun intended). Rising from the ocean depths on the cusp of slowly building synthesizers, 11-minute opener "Tsunami" eventually crashes like a million gallons on a beach of ultraheavy, stoner rock guitar riffs. Appearing to rock and sway with the ebb and flow of tides, ensuing numbers "Crystalline" and "Evaporate" take the shorter route to shore by locking into rhythmically rotating bass guitar figures that spray psychedelic accents in the surf. And in 14-minute closer "Voyage Automatique," 35007 attains a hypnotic trance-groove perfection, at once blissful and utterly seductive. Do away with all of these watery metaphors and Liquid still stands as a major accomplishment in the ambient rock field, and a recommended introduction to both 35007 and the genre at large."

All I Need Is...

















Band: Colour Haze
Album: CO2
Origin: Germany(Munich)
Genre: Psychedelic Rock, Stoner Rock, Space Rock
Year: 2000

I'm feeling lazy, so I am going to use a review I found on the internet for this one. I can tell you that it is an amazing record and if you don't know the band or don't have this record, and you like psychedelic jams, you should definitely listen to this one. Enjoy!

"German Groovesters' first 6-track release. Multi-layered and varied, from subtle spacy jams to intense slabs of heavy rock with a refreshing taste of it's own. Definitely one of the most promising releases to emerge from the german scene lately." (Roadburn)

Ain't Felt This Good For An Hour...



Band: Hawkwind
Album: Warrior On The Edge Of Time
Origin: Great Britain (London)
Genre: Space Rock
Year: 1975



Hawkwind's fifth album. It's the last one Lemmy played on and it includes the classic song Motörhead (hawkwinds version starring some crazy violin playing!). The Line-up for this album was short-lived. Lemmy 'left' at the end of the year and Robert Calvert had rejoined the band. This one is a classic if you like Hawkwind and/or Space Rock. Enjoy!

Another free download, and no review this time. Sorry, but the whale is very busy studying for his exams. So expect more free downloads for the coming two weeks. But after his exams, the Whale will do some proper uploads and reviews. Thanks for your patience...

Commencing Countdown, Engines On...



Band: 35007
Album: Sea Of Tranquillity EP
Origin: The Netherlands
Genre: Space Rock, Stoner Rock
Year: 2001


This is a magnificent EP by the legendary band 35007 (Loose). It's their first release without a vocalist and really goes deep in to the space rock territory. It has a lot of room for synthesizers and sound effects and makes good use of samples and slide guitar. The first two songs (Von Braun and Artificial Intelligence) are great but it's the last song that brings this EP in to the genius zone. Sea Of Tranquillity has everything: samples from the apollo missions, hawkwind style synth patterns, a driving bass and an explosive ending with great riffs.
