PSYCHEDELIC TEATIME

German project MARGIN is the creative vehicle of composer and musician Lutz Meinert, formerly of the German band For Your Pleasure and with a past as a member of various progressive rock bands going back to the '70s. "Psychedelic Teatime" is the first studio production he has made using the Margin moniker, released through the small German label Madvedge Records in 2014.

Margin's debut album "Psychedelic Teatime" is a fairly pleasant excursion into landscapes similar to the ones Pink Floyd explored in the late '70s, and one focusing on the more accessible part of that specific style. There are few contrasts to be found, the themes tend to be fairly smooth even when the arrangements are layered, and those with a desire to encounter truly challenging material won't find them here. A pleasant, melodic and smooth take on the commercial side of late '70s Pink Floyd in short, and a production that might merit an inspection by those who tend to enjoy music of that specific nature.
