The most recent album of Cosmic Trip Machine continues the slightly occult themes found
also from their earlier album, and deliver a rich display of psychedelic music stylistic choices.
The record kicks in dynamically with a folk-oriented psych tones, and the lysergic rock guitar
and vocals phase out to void of cosmic soundscapes. "You" moves to some acid folk dronings
with leanings also to classic European traditional music, having very pleasant guitars and
shimmering abstract aural backgrounds. The story continues with more oppressing tribal
horror movie feelings of "Jessica's Nightmare", which is the soothed with acoustic hippie
ballad. A really beautiful acoustic guitar cadenza leads to a minor ballad ending to stinging
guitar soloing, which merges to a more cosmic space tones and experiments. The concrete
tonal elements reappear with a mellow keyboard driven downer ballad, which switches as
open guitar experimentation phase in space rock sounds, leading later again to more close to
earth feelings with folk rock and tribal music phases. The longest track on the album is the
cosmic ender "Son Of Lord Space Devil", sounding little like a more tamer version of Acid
Mothers Temple's experimentations.The album sleeve has a detailed history of the band, and also a description of the journey building the musical entity of this record. From my personal tastes point of view, I maybe did not feel very comfortable with the intensity of changes in moods, as the music has quite strong alterations. I guess this record should be taken as kind of movie for your ears, as Frank Zappa once stated in some of his record, and allow one to be carried with the scenes. The album quality is good in all technical standards, like one might expect from a Nasoni release, and for a psychedelic prog music listener this album is certainly a record worth checking out; there are good changes this might fit to the central of your musical fascination.
