Well, did Lazuli get into the habit of publishing a goose bump ballad under a false name? Not at all. Although Lazuli frontman Dominique Leonetti can be heard here on two pieces ("Le Derniere souffle de Vent", "L'un Contre L'autre"), the man who is responsible for all this and sings the opener has a similar voice: Jean Pierre Louveton is the musical director of the long-established prog band Nemo.

Camera cavort in the magic triangle with the edges Spacerock, Krautrock and Psychedelic and look beyond them. It's the same on Remember I Was Carbon Dioxide. The Berlin trio knows about the footsteps they are following. Small tributes to the German pioneers of the 60s and 70s included.

Aphodyl have escaped many fans of psychedelic music so far - a criminal omission, one bases the euphoric audience appeal, which the three-man-a-woman-band is able to evoke at festivals. Also the eclipsed has rediscovered the already 2012 produced disc due to their fantastic live performance at the "Psychedelic-Spacerockfestival II" in Salzkotten.

A year ago Monomyth surprised the New Art Rock, Kraut Rock and Psychedelic scene with their debut. "Further" is now the second album of the Dutch band. And Monomyth continue with him exactly where they left off with the first album. No reproach, because the four tracks (at 45 minutes playing time) are made outstanding.

When you put on this record by the Czech songwriter Marketa Irglova, you first think of Enigma, Enya or the novel "The Name of the Rose", whether you think of the monk's choirs, the sacred atmosphere or the beating bells. But what follows with "Time Immemorial" is of a completely different kind.

Metal in streamlined form, Wall Of Sound with bite and tribal with unbridled power - on their third album the trio from New Zealand's Auckland do everything right. Anything. With "Pirohia" Kerretta have presented an album that can definitely be celebrated as a genre highlight.

Suppose Yann Tiersen had not been born French, but somewhere in the far north of Europe, and had not made instrumental music, but had also sung. - Maybe, but only maybe, he would sound like Dánjal á Neystabø and his band Dánjal.
