Description

This 7″ offers two strong instrumentals from two avant-garde stoner groups, one from this side of the pond, the other from the other side. This 7″ is certainly not the entry point into the cosmos of instrumental rock of the two groups and therefore something for die-hard fans, but both tracks are extremely entertaining. There is a certain simplicity to the head-bobbing tracks, as befits stoner rock, but both are captivatingly melodic. SONS OF ALPHA CENTAURI relies on spherical choirs and staccato riffing, later on samples and a monotonous groove. KARMA TO BURN, on the other hand, is more clearly stoner and begins with a complex rhythm with strummed guitar and filigree bass before the song leads into a groovy hard rock piece.
