Enjoyable for me, but nothing new on the planet fusion.

I haven't seen them live either  .....and it's not like I haven't had the opportunity either. Damn what a bummer! Btw anyone here familiar with Causa Sui drummer Jakob Skøtt's solo work? It is very tasty indeed and should be interesting to fans of Tangerine Dream, Heldon and Zombi....preferably fans of all three played simultaneously.

Have to check out their live recordings, or see them in concert next time they come around then! I'm rather satisfied to see that this thread still lives on even though it's a couple years ago I last listened to the group.

I've been looking for darker, heavier stuff lately and have been playing some Causa Sui and Colour Haze. So far I've found Euporie Tide and Pewt'r Sessions 1 & 2 from CS and Tempel, She Said and Co2 from CH. I really like everything I've played.
Anyone interested in long psych rock jams with heavy Hendrix style guitar I would suggest Solar Corona by The Machine.

I think I prefer this band's live albums over the studio efforts. Hell 99% of the music sounds like it was lifted straight from a jam, so maybe that isn't at all strange. My current fave is Live at the Freak Valley.
Also their most recent Pewt 3's sidelong jam, as linked to above, sees the band venturing into something I'd call avantguarde psych. A very strange tune - definitely for Causa Sui....but I think it suits them very well. There's only so much you can do inside a framework of old school riffing a la Sabbath n Jimi. On here they seem to have ditched the structure altogether.

NEW ALBUM is out 18th august. A new pewt'r session. In fact, a side-long track from the album is streaming on soundcloud;
https://soundcloud.com/elparaiso/causa-sui-incipiency-suite
Very excited, as they went in a much more jazzy direction. I like pyschedelic jazz! I think it's an improvement on the other pewt'r sessions. It also sounds like Amor Fati, the recent Jakob Skott solo album, in parts. I like the way that it is separated into different and eclectic sections.

I'd really recommend Euporie Tide for anyone new to the band. This one is a bit more song orientated,energetic and structured.

I have found them through this site and have listened to some of their music and I am impressed.I heard some bits and pieces of he summer sessions which seemed very mellow.Is that the majority of the music or are there more energized parts?

I've just got in to Causa Sui, it needs more recognition on this site! I have heard, and just ordered summer sessions Vols 1-3 on vinyl, very excited for their arrival. Those albums have such a nice feel to them. Loving Euporie Tide at the moment as well, a new direction that I think really works, and will potentially broaden their audience. I did download the pewt'r sessions, I haven't listened much but I can't really get into them, as there is far less space (a big component of the music) and it is much heavier and darker. It may well click at a later date but at the moment I really like the laid back 'summery' vibe of the summer sessions and that is continued somewhat on Euporie Tide.
Anyone else think that Europie Tide is unbelievably well produced and rich sounding?

I've heard their most recent and it's nice and something I should probably get at some point.

I've finally heard one of their old albums, Free Ride. It is indeed heavier and less complex than Euporie Tide, but it's still got way more ambitious songwriting than usual for modern-day "stoner rock" (I hate that term) groups. At the same time, it's somehow catchier yet less "tight" compositionally: There's way more emphasis on Blue Cheer/Jimi Hendrix Experience/Black Sabbath-style heavy bluesy riffing, but the "Kosmische Musik" spirit's still there just taken in different directions.
The respective album titles sum the difference up well, I think.

I'M JUST GETTING INTO THIS BAND, COURTESY OF TOASTER. THEIR STUFF IS HARD TO GET AT A REASONABLE PRICE ON CD IN THE UK. MAY NEED MP3 WHICH IS NOT MY PREFERRED FORMAT. GOT SS 1.

And yes, Causa Sui and Colour Haze do sound very similar. I think CS was for most of their career on CH's record label. I find what I've heard from CH much heavier, though, like a hypothetical collaboration between Frank Zappa and Blue Cheer.

Borrowed a copy of Free Ride (2007) from a mate yesterday. So its my morning listen (right now)
The sound is not as perfect as on the later albums. But i like it !
The
fact that there is vocals, and the 70's stoner rock jam sound brings
me back to Woodstock (Christiania), back in my teens in the late 70's.
But
honestly, the sound is a bit muddy and the music seems to be less
refined at this point.
On a side note, if you like this kind of music you should definately check out this german outfit.

Euporie Tide is pretty good, I've listened to it a handful of times.
