BEARING

I have to admit I did not expect this kind of music here.

The music is space rock, but with a strange twist. The basis is some trippy, naive space rock with some distorted guitars. Krautrock springs to mind too. This album also have some avant garde music too. The music here is very flowery too with a large West Coast/San Fransisco hippie signature too. But Sistra's signature is Gaia Vittozzi's naive sounding vocals which is pretty special.

The music here is good when overcoming the shock. The Krautrock sound is an aquired taste and it took me some time to get used to it. But when overcoming the initial shock and really getting into the groove (literary speaking), I really likes what I hear. There is no killer tunes here and that is my gripe with this album. But this album is still an enjoyable experience.
