Colour Haze

A friend introduced me to this band very recently and I must say I'm incredibly impressed. German psychedelic/stoner rock done right.

"Initially, the band seemed to be strongly influenced by the sounds of Black Sabbath - perhaps most notably in their 1999 album, titled Periscope. This style later evolved into an unmistakably dry, bass-laden soundscape. Characteristic of this phase is Kogleks’ continual guitar playing between trance-like bass rhythms. The albums Ewige Blumenkraft and Los Sounds De Krauts allowed the band to further develop this style with longer, more complex song structures, and increasingly strong jam and jazz elements."

Mindflowers

I've just fulfilled a year-long dream by catching Have Heart live a few days ago at The Underworld, London. Just so happened to be their last ever UK gig.

So, today's post might not appeal to lots of people, as it contains an immense amount of technical wank. But no, this ain't no ordinary wank. It's prog-fusion wank. A Hungarian band with the extraordinarily gay name Mindflowers, surpasses all expectations that I might have had prior to listening to their album Improgressive. I'm really not going to go into detail with this "review", but I will say this. If you have a next-to-null knowledge of fusion and are keen on discovering new genres of music, this a fantastic album to start upon.
