HYPNOTICUM

I have not heard yet the long players of this London-based experimental quartet, but this EP gives promising signals from their futuristic tonal palette. Modern synthesizer sounds illuminate sharp cosmic visions I have currently heard from the records of Space Mirrors and Hawkwind, these songs staying in more restrained atmospheric creation and taking maybe more distant vantage point to the celestial adorations, leaving the intensity of heavy rock presence in space thrusting capsules for others. The longest main composition "The Island Is" astonishes with its tame meditative relaxation, sonic abstractions flowing quietly past the listener, and offering a fine soothing moment in cosmic peace. Sam Barton's trumpet is also allowed for beautiful solo moment, the cool horn sound fitting very well to the digital sound basis. A certain motivator to listen the longer recordings also if found.
