When the opener of your debut album is something as magnificent as...well...'The Magnificent Moon', you know it's the start of something wondrous.
"Phase" is more of a map to the stars than it is a blueprint for anything on the *ground* persay, but regardless, its a proficient groovy display of psychy soft rock, jazz fusion, electronic, and even a tad of disco.
After all, what's a journey into space without a four-to-the-floor soundtracking your way into the deep reaches of the outer cosmos? Xtra Happy
I LOVE this band. they never disappoint and every time I hear them it's a different growing sound. GAMMA KNIFE has been stuck in my head for a long while. I have their other records but i've never owned this. Ya know, it kicks major ass! nickvoid
"Automatic" couldn't be a better sequel if you tried - it delivers on what made "Phase" great, but also expands on that psych-funk-jazz fusion to give a couple new hints of flavour.
The title track has a great synth beat with those vocoded vocals, 'Downstream' is perfect for a poolside lounge, but 'Memory Palace' is hands down my favourite here - that 90s house-style piano man, it's so upbeat, righteous and makes for a perfect rhythm for the lads to jam over.
Flawless album, cover to cover. Xtra Happy
