ELEMENTS

"GT, Me & My 6610" begins revealing their singular sound between pop folk, psyche, rock, jazz-rock and art-rock; a sound with the vintage melody of the 60s, the link with ZOPP hits the mark. "Mesmerized" fruity air, swirling and twirling like in the famous animation; an Andalusian acoustic guitar space, a screamed choir; there is electricity in the air in the absence of eclecticism; more jazzy than MEER, more underground too. "The Void" always this meerian keyboard at the start, then the fury of the funky jazzy electric riff launches a hard vintage psychedelic air that flows like liquid embers. The fat synth takes over and introduces "Fylkesvei 33" on industrial, trans electronic, hypnotic and psychedelic hilarious sounds. The novelty of the musical concept is surprising, we are between PINK FLOYD of psychedelic origin and the electronic atmosphere of TANGERINE DREAM; the plot evolves on a hypnotic groovy repetitive spot with musical mudslides, really strange and wacky, avant-garde. The crescendo is enjoyable, jerky, heady, a real mantranic title.

"National Day" starts again raw, raw, between incandescent jazzy guitar and cottony organ; the keyboard explodes in the ears, the spatial noises amplifying the effect. "You're Exposed!" with a rock sound that surprises; very quickly the sound goes to 340V by offering new prog blood on old tunes. "!!!" continues, changes, surfs, rushes at full speed, breaking the notes, offering a hypnotic redundant air and a whiff of the fabulous MOTORPSYCHO for this disturbing dystopian organ. "Fire & Flames" delicate, mysterious piano intro, an arpeggio blinking like a ray of sunshine on the window; the solemn piano recalls MEER again on a jazzier register. The hovering, ambient, atmospheric and melodic air at the same time on the voices as a hook link; the drums rise, the choirs like in the good old days of the 60s/70s in fury; the organ solo helped by the thunderous bass. "Kaleidoskop" in local language, a proven melancholic air on a haunting guitar arpeggio with a memory air of KAUAN and KING CRIMSON.

WIZRD dynamic opus much more disconcerting than LIND and JORDSJO you will have understood but with more modern sounds. Originally on profilprog.
