From the Cube
French printfanzine Acid Dragon+online magazine Zeitgeist:
What It Is is a good start full of eastern promise with an ingenuous sequence of notes on the guitar giving way to a psychedelic shock 2½ minutes in. Looking at the line-up you just have a feeling that youre for a very special sonic experience and sure enough there are shimmering guitars, sitars, tablas and organ gracing this album. An expeditiously used theremin is thrown in for good measure.
From the promising opener, From the Cube just gets better and better, an authentic evocation of a glorious past with an invigorative touch for the modern era. Out of this Room is next, heavily suggestive of classic moments in acid/ Kraut rock punctuated by heavy riffing two minutes in that could just as easily be Black Sabbath. Again, a deceptively simple but oh so effective guitar line takes up the theme with some brief creepy organ that could be straight out of the Vanilla Fudge catalogue.
To Be Real is a clever composition, a psychedelic gem no less with some memorable vocal lines. This could have been a hit in the halcyon days when music knew no barriers. The mid section reminds briefly of early Crimson in its unfulfilled jazzy progression.
The longest track Pink Cloud is a 14 minute Floydian invention in its first movement anyway- theres even a lyric about a diamond shining bright! The second movement is a Camel like sequence whose melody reminded me of the weep no more part of Syntelmans March of the Roaring Seventies on Amon Duul 11s epic Dance of the Lemmings. The final movement has some raucous wah-wah soloed over in a Rory Gallagher jazzy style. Another well constructed guitar solo embellishes the rocky Quintessence meets archetypal hard rock seventies band vibe of Moonspell.
The final track Ebola Monster starts like an apocalyptic Doors number (The End perhaps) then the heaviest riff of the album explodes onto your speakers (I did mention Sabbath earlier didnt I?) Add a driving rhythm section no better heard than in the middle section around 5 minutes in when the band notch up a gear and a guitar progression bearing a passing resemblance to Im A Man CTA style and youve got a pretty potent concoction on your hands! Never content to rest on their laurels, Liquid Vision then come up with a bit of On The Boards style guitar picking, a surprisingly laid back moment that doesnt last long as they break quickly back into a coruscating maelstrom more reminiscent of a Zeppelin than a glider!
Liquid Visions pull of a rare trick on From the Cube of making an authentic late sixties/ early seventies psychedelic/ Kraut rock album with a fresh and original touch that, in the fullness of time, will stand shoulders to shoulders with the best releases of the genre. Highly recommended.

Die Januarausgabe 2010 hat eine der formidabelsten Kapellen Berlins zu Gast: das Kapaikos Mandolinenorchester. Demente Punkpolka, 'Teerwalzer' [wie ihr gleichnamiges Album], Balkangalopp und alles, was dein Herz aufgehen läßt, deinen Appetit nach hochprozentigem weckt und dich unwiderstehlich auf die Tanzfläche zieht. Die sieben kaputten Kapaiken durften schon Cobra Killer auf einem ganzen Album begleiten und waren 2004 das letzte Mal im Lovelite. Wir freuen uns auf ein wildes Wiedersehen!
Und wie immer zahlen Gäste in entsprechender Abendgarderobe [Salonlöwe, Diva, Gipsy, Ganove, Paradiesvogel] den halben Eintrittspreis!
The Flying Eyes are a heavy psych band hailing from Baltimore, Maryland. Since they formed in 2007, the group has played with many renowned bands such as The Raveonettes, The Black Angels, Witch and Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys (during SXSW 2009). The Flying Eyes have also created an annual, home-grown music festival, "Farm Fest", in Manchester, Maryland. This past year they headlined the event, drawing over 400 people to the Carney Family Farm. This fall, they will release a full length compilation of their two EPs ("Bad Blood" and "Winter") on Trip in Time.
