Old Hippie (XII MMXXIV)
Horizons of Events is the fifth album by Polish psych rock group More Experience and a great continuation to the psychedelic journey of the previous album I reviewed over here. Like before, the band pours out wonderful late 60s/early 70s psych/prog/folk vibes and really shines.
So the story started on the 2022 album Electric Laboratory of High Space Experience continues with four new tracks. “Deep Cosmic Kisses” is a 14:30 long trip with tablas, sitars, backwards guitars, drums, bass, synths, pretty cosmic vocals etc., everything you could ask for a very nice oldies style psych trip. Amazing! “Death” starts peacefully with bird-song and acoustic guitar & bells, and slowly builds up with organ etc. I’m loving the soft, effected vocals too! 1969 era Pink Floyd vibes. On “Wait a Moment” the dreamy, hippie and peaceful vibe continues with some cool Fender Rhodes sounds and the the jazzy beat and bass joins in with some sitar and bluesy vocals. This one has a very jazzy, lazy mood for sure. It is the longest track at 14:50 and the hypnotic, extended jamming takes you out there… Some King Crimson vibes in there as well, and a killer fuzz guitar solo, among other cooliness. They must have been listening to some John Coltrane as well. Love Supreme at least. Wonderful! The last track “Lunatic Space Diary” is a bit more progressive in nature and very good too. Vocoder is added to the arsenal at one point. Apparently the 2LP version also has an additional fifth track but I have not yet been able to find copies… But this very cool CD version is available at several places and comes much recommended.
