This is long, long over due. Sorry if anyone was looking forward to the album but, here is the link from where you can purchase it. We've had good reviews from current Pallas singer too!
Hope you like the finished article : ) http://kunaki.com/Sales.asp?PID=PX00H8T6XQ |

I don't know about the music but the name pretty sucks :) Snake Temple Kings? How many bands with "temple" and "king" in it exist? Unless that's name is a deliberate joke about lame pompous band names then it is just like that.

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and give such an in depth review. We currently have 55 minutes of music for the album, so we were going to put another two tracks (already written) down. That should take the album length to 1 hour 10 minutes or so.
The album art is also currently being worked on. If all goes to plan, it should be ready come july. I shall keep you posted on our progress.
Cheers,
Rory

Listened to all these and loved it. Here's my review of the songs just to give you my impressions: 'Where did she go' has some incredible saxophone breaks and the voice is clear and easy to listen to. the Hammond sounds are great and I love the synth in the lengthy instrumental section at the end. Its excellent psych prog music. 'Sunchild' starts with a violin sound and guitar that reminds me of the intro to The Doors ‘The End’. It is a slow patient spacey piece with low key vocals, has some Eastern influences, almost like Hawkwind in places. It builds up gradually to an unusual time sig with grinding organ. The guitar chords are well paced sounding a little like The Doors. Lead break is very well executed. There is a mini bass solo, and lots of atmospherics, Steve Hillage style guitar licks backed by loads of synth...Yes, I like this 9 minute song too. 'Everything will be Silver in the Future' Great title for a song, it begins with the main guitar riff, a verse and then a time sig shift, with a driving metrical pattern, it then shifts again to a instrumental break and some spacey guitar licks. There is a more accessible sound in the main section, but a very intricate king Crimsonish time sig locks in at 5:15 and then it pads out to a much mellower tempo, but the drums are quite sporadic. The main melody is reprised after this with David Brock style vocals complete with echo effects. Has genuine moments of dark and light textures, very interesting compelling sound overall. ‘The Fool and The Devil’ begins with a sharp guitar riff and has a theme of out of body out of mind, astral projection and levitation. A strange content backed by very melancholy vocals and nice harmonies. A heavier sound threatens to break out at times with a grungy guitar crunching at 1:40. The lyrics are interesting talking of “demons in my mind.... astral fever, born to believe it....” The crunching riff returns momentarily segueing into a slower section and the time sig totally changes as the male vocalist sings “the fool and the devil” over and over again... A straight rock beat kicks in and very strong sustained keyboard pads. The lead solo is quite subdued, reminding me of a laid back Hawkwind guitar break. The instrumental section builds gradually into an accomplished style, as you might hear from Camel. Great song. ‘Our Vision’ is a 9 minute track that begins with a pulsating industrial sound and ethereal keyboard pads. It builds to a quick tempo guitar riff and space effects. This is definitely reminiscent of Hawkwind, even sounds like Brock at times. The time sig is off kilter and intricate changing a few times. After a couple of verses there is an extended instrumental section with a divine lead guitar that takes off, the band go in to a sound like the more recent Diagonal, very spacey and quite compelling with all the layered instruments and a wind effect ads to the hyper atmospherics. When is the album coming out? |

I'd like to say my real name is actually Palmer Eldritch, but it's not. Yeah, we like Philip K. Dick!
Cheers for listening guys and I'll keep you posted about the album.
Rory.

I haven't listened to any of your stuff yet (I'm planning to once the album I'm currently listening to is over) but I have to ask...is your PA username inspired by Philip K. Dick's The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch? I love that book.
