SPACESLUG:
Mountains & Reminiscence

Niesamowite

According to the good old interweb, this is a Polish word which roughly translates to "stunning".  I reported on Spaceslug's February release entitled "Time Travel Dilemma", and have still not stopped listening to it.  Then in September they released another masterpiece.  The tunes in "Mountains & Reminiscence" are dripping with atmosphere, and they engulf you immediately and completely with their smooth, heavy vibe.  The songwriting, musicianship and production quality are all as good as it gets, and the three sets of vocal chords increases the distinctiveness of Spaceslug's sound.

Check out "Ephemeral":

And now "Space Sabbath", sure to be a lot of peoples' favorite on this release 

Mountains and Reminiscence clocks in at just under a half an hour.  The middle three tracks are unreleased material form the Time Travel Dilemma recording sessions, and tracks one and five were recorded this past summer.  At five bucks, it's a dollar per song, but I will be getting years of enjoyment from them.  

I kind of view "Mountains & Reminiscence" and "Time Travel Dilemma" as one big super-release that is definitely one of the best of the year, and may very well end up among my all-time favorites.

Until next time
