The Other Window

One of my alltime favorite Bands: The Other Window
for those who like vocals that are a little off ;)
(mostly instrumental though)
The Transistions album's is definitely my fave!
enjoy! (hopefully as much as i do ;)

"In the summer of 2005, The Other Window managed to record their debut album in 2 sessions at Kewsound studios in Somerset. Their first gig was to open the Greenbelt Festival in Cheltenham. A series of fortean events have dogged the band ever since. Some say this is due to their eerie music opening "doors" The debut album "T H E . O T H E R . W I N D O W" contains six tracks, the longest being 'Beyond Science Fiction' which clocks in at 16.04 minutes. The song contains long improvised sections and was recorded in one take, like most of the album. Very few overdubs were used in the making of the album and it represents the live sound of the band extremely well. All the songs on the album were recorded and mixed in 2 ten hour sessions at Kewsound studios in Somerset.
The six tracks on the album showcase the bands massive musical range, swinging from the mellow space ambience of 'Nebula' all the way through to the raw energy of 'Persecution'." ~ MySpace

Pater Nembrot

"Looking backward. Living the present, to build something better for future times. Music will help us to understand what means sharing energy, will, power, and truth. These few lines are written to describe my music, myself, my way of thinking, as a part of the everything. Words are important to bring outside what's on the inside. Groove, psichedelia, 70's, fuzz, screaming, believing. Don’t you think I’m just a freak: I am like you, you are just like me. " ~MySpace

The Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound



"Like a lost Fillmore broadcast scrambled in the ionosphere before crashing meteor-like into the Mojave sand—the Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound funnels a Technicolor panorama of California rock and roll history into soulful, high-energy nuggets of contemporary, bluesy choogle n’ fuzz and wistful moonbase laments.

Born in San Francisco in the dim dawn light of the new millennium, The Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound is built around a core of three musicians, Jefferson Marshall, Sunburst 3 (M.I.K.E. Lardas) and Charlie Saufley, who stumbled upon each other from divergent experiences in funk platter dealing, heavy space pop brewing, noise punk scrambling and a shared love of raga, Mudhoney and Pink Floyd.

A revolving auxiliary of players, including cartoonist and theremin poet extraordinaire Anderson Lanbridge, and keyboard ace Ray Castro often spices up the Assemble Head’s live destructo-happenings and recorded events." ~

Abunai!



Abunai! were an American psychedelic space-rock band who were fond of adding traditional British and American folk elements to give an added dimension to their sound.

Formed in Brighton, Massachusetts (a neighborhood of Boston) in 1996, they released three albums and two EPs for the Australian Camera Obscura label.

Abunai! broke up in 2002, but not before playing at three of the Terrastock festivals to date. They also reunited in 2006 for Terrastock 6 in Providence, Rhode Island.." ~ Last.Fm

Magnified Eye

"Sheer power and heartspoken grooves builds up in front of you as Magnified Eye emerges on a journey into their ever expanding universe of progressive rock music. Live on stage Magnified Eye delivers shows of more than one hundred sweatdrenched, thunderous, mooddriven minutes pouring their liquified rock into the open souls of the audience. With energy fueled up-tempo rock songs and flowing mellow pieces, Magnified Eye takes you through the entire emotional spectre, firmly grounded in Frode Bjerkely and Torben Ravns tense and powerdrenched grooves with trudging baselines and swirling drumming. Magnus Esbesen spices everything up with his heavy bluesy harmonic, all bound together by the powerfull guitar play and the soulfull vocals of frontman Torben Egebjerg.

Together, Magnified Eye stands as one big moving organism of sound. " ~ MySpace

Sesta Marconi

"The idea of SESTA MARCONI dates back to 1999, when a group of 15 years old friends from the south of Italy set out their musical destiny. After the period of playing cover songs, in 2002 the band started creating their own music. By the end of the year they not only played live a lot, but also composed several songs, two of which ended up on their first demo, "Black Soul Star", falling stylistically between seventies hard rock and classic heavy metal with strong doom metal overtones. In September 2003 the combo relocated to Rome where they kept on playing, in spite of some problems that slowed them down for a few months. In 2004 SESTA MARCONI continued to forge new material, leaning more towards traditional doom metal. Most of those tracks went to constitue "Ritual Kamasutra Kitsch", a 30 minutes long EP released by the band in March 2008. In the 4 songs, preceded by the ironic audio-collage intro, the musicians summarized their personal exploration of the world from the last few years. The EP received some rave reviews from the metal press in Italy and abroad. That’s what Doom revealed to Sesta Marconi... Doom'n'roll shall be the whole of the law" ~ MySpace

Snailface

" Snailface flew to Earth in early 2009 on a four headed, robot dragon with an airbrushed mural on the side depicting a gnome receiving oral pleasure from a panda. They quickly set up their base camp in an underwater laboratory in the San Francisco bay.

When not recording music or getting high, they hunt sharks for raping. All Sharks are set free afterward, physically unharmed but emotionally scarred." ~ Last.Fm

Linus Pauling Quartet (edit)

"A Brief History- 
The LP4 has been carrying the Texas Psych torch since the Mid-90s.  Following in the footsteps of the Mike Gunn and Dry Nod this seven member quartet has been praised in the pages of Ptolemaic Terrascope (UK), Rockerrilla (Italy), Magnet (USA), Broken Face (Sweden), et al. 

First off, it's almost impossible to describe its music in some kind of pithy rock-crit manner. Psychedelic space metal for the Mensa set is about the best we could come up with, and it doesn't quite encompass all that the LP4 does. It's not quite a stoner rock band, nor pure psych rock. Some songs could be likened to the spacey Britpop of Super Furry Animals and Spiritualized, or even early Pink Floyd, but members also bust out with a little hardcore here and there and even occasionally cloak themselves in the black garb of a death metal band. In short, they sound like a pretty large swath of the totally unique Houston rock scene all rolled into a single group.  Houston Press (USA)

"A large red sticker proclaiming WEIRD ALERT could not make things plainer."- Q Magazine (UK) 

"one of the top purveyors of the Texas stoner psychedelic style" Free City Media (USA)

spaced out metal and ultra heavy psychedelia that will appeal to anyone who likes.... well... spaced out metal and ultra heavy psychedelia. - Aural Innovations (USA)

Beiruth


"After so many years taken the same experiences in conventional Rock acts(Omitidos, Tarkus, Earth, Fooz…), Jesús and Juan Ángel, meets Charlie, who came from bands in the same line(FreeState) and the join of three ones, about a year ago, starts a brand new project that sound radical even inside the R’n’R scene. Tracking down the almost erased paths that walked the KrautRockers, the PhycheRavers and the Hippy Travellers in the Seventies, they fall into a no-song instant and continuous extemporization, when nothing repeats, assuming all the satisfaction and risks. You never play/listen again that you’d played/listened the last time... Mix their old Rock instruments with new (and not so new) audio generators and start to play with some regularity checking amazed that in every line that they open, there are some more... To infinity and beyond. Ball of Probability, Folk of Chaos, Space Boogie, Magik Mother Invocation, Infinity Loop, the Music of Spheres to heat and burn your mind"  ~ MySpace
