One of the most cited quotes in the early 80´s about Motörhead or Rush were: How can a three-piece create such a sound? Same could be said in 2024 about ze Germans Kombynat Robotron, hailing from Kiel. We saw them at the Desertfest in Berlin 2023 and at the Stoned from the Underground 2024 and both gigs just passed like two minutes although the songs actually started after two minutes. This band creates a fascinating minimalism and you as a listener are free to build your own pictures or...

Welcome back to the 70s and early 80s. Welcome back to the days when you could still listen to records in a record store as a teenager and the clerk would take the trouble to lift the tone arm and play each song for 30-60 seconds. You can't put anything more vintage on a Bandcamp page than the Italian band "Desert Collider" from Cecina. The opening track, *"Orphans of the Sky Part I: Generation Ship"*, kicks off with an atmospheric blend of tribal drumming, liquid bass, and synth whoops. It...

My friend Tomas, tour manager and Swiss Army knife of "Villagers of Ioannina City" sent me a Spotify link of his brother's band. He told me to take a listen. Then I go to Spotify and listen to this three-person symphony orchestra and am speechless at the countless layers of synthesizers and harmonies. The band name is the effect of how this effect is used to get a broad and dense sound with just a few instruments. The whole album seems like a concept album to me from the titles, as if you were...

Actually, songs that are longer than 7 minutes are contrary to me. And if someone sings with an uncomfortable voice, it puts it on the barrel. Robot God seem to be the first exception. I heard their 8-13 minutes lasting songs until the end, then I jumped between interesting riffs within the songs - there are a lot - and heard the whole song again; Yes, it sounds like I could use a musical buffet and could get something new again and again. The whole album sounds fantastic and is an acoustic...

"Room Within A view" explores the complexities of the mind, showing how our thoughts can confuse and control us. The song talks about inner struggles and finding peace. They use the idea of a "room within a room" to represent the complexity of our minds and the journey to understanding ourselves better. Similar to Hawkwind, who represents cosmic rock, Dust Mice also shares a love for space and science fiction themes. Both bands use imagined worlds and futuristic concepts in their music and...

I don´t know how long Hawkwind will exist and release records. Just in case, if Dave Brock will leave us, TRAUM from Italy will hold the torch of powerful Space Rock. A fantastic record. Check the review!!

Space Rock is actually a fake because there is no transfer of sonic wave in space. Bleeps and beeps and chirps and charps are just a human imagination of what the universe sounds, so therefor Space Rock is the last form of acoustic anarchy. The Astrochemist Azmi Czar from Singapore doesn´t care about scientific pillars of truth, he´s just creating amazing sounds with old gameboys, Apple 2E computers or very vintage sounding electronic stuff and pours it over a high speed rockin´ drum-machine...
