KRAUTROCK IS ALIVE AND WELL........

......IN VANCOUVER, B>C ??????

yup, i ain't kiddin'.....Krautrock influenced psychedelia is alive and well right here under our noses.....it's called BLACK MOUNTAIN !
I just finally got a hold of their selftitled debut CD, recorded in 2004 and released in January 2005. They have several cool side projects as well, PINK MOUNTAIN TOPS and BLACK MOUNTAIN ARMY.
This album contains 8 incredible tracks that are all original material and run the gamut of psyche styles. The opening track, a wild ditty called "Modern Music", instantly recalls Captain Beefheart, while the next 2, "Don't run our hearts around" and "Druganaut" will take you to realms of Can, Amon Düül 2 and even early Jane in spots. "No satisfaction" follows, very nice track, perhaps the best early ROXY MUSIC sounding piece next to the original... Man, that track is worth the whole album....no..wait....what's this i hear ?? Strains of NEU & Harmonia ??? you betcha.... 2 great sounding piece called "set us free" and "No Hits"
By now i'm sold......on comes a super gloomy/melancholy ballad "Heart of Snow"followed by the closer, another cool Roxy/Neu! sounding tune called "faulty times" Great stuff, must be heard by all Fans of Alien Soundtracks.....
