Spacefolds 8 from veteran US band Quarkspace is a release of a kind that most people will either love or hate, and many will probably end up in the latter group.

Instrumental improvisational space jam rock is the name of the game, a type of music not know to run rampant on the Billboard charts. In this case we're talking jams of the less accessible kind too, with mostly slow evolvement, heavy on the disharmonic layers and with a high degree of psychedelia. Interesting enough the piano is a dominant instrument on the first two jams, adding at times blues flavoured and at other times jazz and classical tinges to the soundscape, but for the rest of the album synths tend to dominate quite a bit. A solid bass line is the foundation for most tracks, and melodic guitar licks or heavily distorted drawn out guitar sounds spice the soundscape - and take over in some instances.

This is a release for fans of the band and fans of the genre; in particular I'd think that those enjoying altered states of mind will find these jams intriguing.
