Luis Simões is back with a double LP/CD of
very cool music recorded between 2007 and 2011 in Portugal. It is the 5th album
recorded under this name. Unfortunately, I have not heard all of them and many
are out of print and difficult to find. He plays all the instruments himself and
it is a wide range of instruments including strings (Guitar, bass, drums,
dulcimer, sitar), keyboards, synthesizers, flutes, drums, gong, etc… Very
impressive. They lyrics are really cool and special as well. The 9 min Utopia
starts the psychedelic journey and reminds me a bit of Vibravoid. Aura is a
spacey floating track with some very nice flute. Obsidian Spiral is a very
psychedelic track with sitar (highly effected), acoustic guitars, layers of
keyboards and synths… trippy.. Arcadian Watcher starts very floating and spacey
like a Pink Floyd dream. It sounds like harp at the beginning of the track. Now
the drums are back in an uptempo track with many layers of synthesizers, piano,
and a dramatic synth pad voice that sounds like a long drawn out “ahhhhhhhhhh”
that is repeated over and over at intervals. Rings of Smoke features Stefan
Koglek (Colour Haze) on vocal in German. Clepsydra is a beautiful track with
spacey electronics, flute, acoustic guitar, electric piano and then the drums
come in as you float away in a ring of smoke.. This one really builds up and he
plays some cool heavy guitar riffs and solos. Amazing track. Alpha Omega is the
longest track on LP/CD1 at 13 mins and starts also with a very dreamy space
state and some laid back vocals, nice electric guitars, occasional sitar drone,
etc… Mikado Players and Lotus Eaters is an instrumental track that closes the
first LP/CD. A very Pink Floyd inspired track.
LP/CD2
starts off with Moving Mandala. This is a very groovy track also with some
sitar, the first real sitar playing. It also has a really nice keyboard solo
towards the end. Trance Dance has the drums mixed quite a bit back compared to
the other tracks, with again a real Pink Floyd floating vibe and spacey vocals,
cool synths… He plays a nice guitar solo in this track with a bit of a
Portuguese flavour to it. Mellifluous is another dreamy track with some cool
synthesizer work and some of the most psychedelic stuff on the LP/CD.
Specialists of the Invisible is a 4min song with just layers of synthesizer
sounds and some bells. ( ) Grand Lodge of Forever starts with some beautiful
guitar and spacey synths and organ as he begins a whispery style of vocal. It is
a real drifting track and quite amazing. The transition at 3½ is really great
and super spacey. The LP/CD ends with Cosmonication. A slow track that is heavy
on the organ and keyboards and very spaced.
It is awesome
that Elektrohasch is releasing this cool space rock music from Portugal. The sad
thing about projects like this when it is only one person and it takes him years
to make it, that it will likely never be transformed into a live act where you
could experience these great songs live and maybe with some jamming. Great
album. (Scott aka. Dr. Space/writingaboutmusic.blogspot.de)
