Hypermagic Mountain (CD)
All killer, no filler follow-up to 2003's Wonderful Rainbow, Hypermagic Mountain slams into hyperdrive for a full 57 minute ride. The songs are dense and constructed from an intense three week recording session deep within a psychic sweatbox. The band has blurred differences to any other sound pirates with this record using a primal base and a new musical vocabulary fueled by chemistry-altering volume and kick ass SONGS! Throbbing low-end played on a 300 foot long bass and kick drums the size of Exxon supertankers, all stretched into a triumphant war stomp that all can love. With just bass and drums (a two piece band you see) they have constructed the densest sound imaginable.

| The best record of 2006. Lightning Bolt dominates from beginning to end, combining classic-rock and Mozart-esque melodies and throwing them into an infernal, overwhelming soundscape. From the triumphant conclusion of ''Dead Cowboy'' to the squealing braggadocio of ''Bizarro Bike,'' this is not an album to be ignored. | |
