MANY THANKS TO ALL OUR ENDORSERS AND SPONSORS...........
‘Sendelica' (who are based in and around Cardigan, West Wales) are an experimental outfit whose work is very reminiscent of some Pink Floyds late 60's/early 70's psychedelic outings mixed up with early Sabbath riffing, Eddie Hazel twidling and late Orb ambient/dub musings. The band had their first EP "TheOwlsHaveEyes" released at the end of July 2006 on FRG Records and featured guest vocalist Chris Gibbs. The line up on the EP included the core duo of Peter Bingham on guitar/electronics and bass player Glenda Pescado (ex-Nik Turners All Stars) augmented by various collaborators. The band played at several of that years Festivals in Wales before resuming work on their debut album which included the nucleus of Pete & Glenda and featured guest appearances by Sarah E, Dick Turner (Sound Waves) and Roger Morgan. The sessions also included the recording debut of new drummer Paul Fields. The album, entitled 'Entering The Rainbow Light' was finished in December and was released at the end of January 2007.
2007 saw Sendelica being signed to the Moscow based Psyche specialist label RAIG Records and in Feb 2007 they recorded a new album under the direction of Colin Powerstepper at The Barn studios. The album entitled 'Spaceman Bubblegum and Other Weird Tales from the Mercury Mind' was released in Eastern Europe at the end of August 2007 followed by a UK release in late September.
In the UK there was also a limited edition 'ambient album' entitled 'SleepWalker Fever' released on the Welsh label 'Tidy Like Records' in the summer of 2007. This is the soundtrack to the Sendelica movie 'Sleep Walker Fever' that the band worked on with film maker Grant Wakefield which will have a DVD release in Europe in early 2009.
2008 saw the band tour the East Coast of USA including the prestigous New York Knitting Factory show in May. The band also recorded their follow up album at Providence, Rhode Island as a six piece band augmented by Vizzie, Geoff Chase, Bob Fish and Brian. The resulting album entitled 'The Girl From The Future' is scheduled for release on R.A.I.G. Records in April 2009... watch this space for further details....
A second experimental album 'The Alternative Realities of the Re-awakening Somnambulist' was released as a limited edition album on TidyLike Records at the Blue Rock festival in August 2008 where the band also played a meltdown set.
2009 sees the band moving ever onwards with their next album being recorded outside in the midst of the magical Preseli mountains......
THE GIRL FROM THE FUTURE WHO LIT UP THE SKY WITH GOLDEN WORLDS..........a vitality and creative spark crackling throughout this album……..This is definitely the finest thing the band have released, imaginative, crisp, free flowing and with a warm production, I heartily recommend it to all lovers of space/psychedelic rock music. (Simon Lewis- PtolmaicTerrascope).***********************************************************************************************************
THE GIRL FROM THE FUTURE WHO LIT UP THE SKY......"Music is more important matters anyway. Sendelica stand out from the crowd. Not only because they are the first band on RAIG not from the east/north that I remember top20of my mind. Not only because they have great record titles (see above) and likewise great songtitles (“Manhole of the universe” or “Dark Disko”). Especially I think in this one they describes themselves very well: “Several species of furry humans gathered together in a cave grooving like groov picts”. But mostly because they play instrumental stoner rock without getting boring. Which in itself is a feat of epic notoriety. ..... They add a lot of psychedelia and the best of Jimi Hendrix’ sensitive side into what otherwise could be guitar noodling, if it didn’t fit so well. It is like bananas and choclate – you need to know how to mix them to make them taste really well, even if the two basic products just squished together is also good enough at times. Sendelica offer a right nice banana split coup, if you catch my drift. Hm, I am getting a special taste here. ........, I start to think about Black Sabbath and John Coltrane, because there is some of both in Sendelica. .

Inspired by very early Pink Floyd and Hawkwind, the band conjures a freewheeling psychedelic sound which is based on the typical power trio instrumentation of guitar, bass and drums, and then spice it up with a whole lot of electronics that add a wobbling atmosphere with the aim to abduct their audience into an acid drenched multicoloured wonderland.. The Girl From The Future is an introspective five minute stroll, followed by the concise rocker Glory Bee with a mighty power riff that carries the song over the finish line. The album ends with the epically titled Several Species Of Furry Humans Gathered Together In A Cave Grooving Like Groovy Picts, a fourteen minute psychedelic journey that starts out quietly enough, builds up momentum and erupts eventually into a kaleidoscopic crescendo.

SPACEMAN BUBBLEGUM
"Sendelica totally blow your mind with the absolute guitar tour de force on “Indrid Cold”. Check out the crazy solo’s Bingham tosses out on this twelve minute epic, not to mention Pescado’s thick and rubbery bass lines and the busy work of Fields behind the kit.
There you have it, another magical release and they’re certainly going to turn more than a few heads in the international music scene".

“..... the band pick up the pace, strap themselves in and head off for inner space, the music drawing comparison with Sundial, or The Spacious Mind, the guitar doing it’s best to disintegrate you mind. Completely instrumental, it is a credit to the band that they manage to hold the listeners interest for the duration of the record, creating different moods and textures, whilst allowing the album to flow as if one long piece. ... Possibly my favourite track is the magnificent “Indrid Cold”, twelve minutes of guitar heaven, Pete Bingham laying the universe to waste as he romps across the fretboard, a solid and inspired rhythm section providing a perfect platform for the sonic wizardry that soars overhead. Here everything comes together, the song demonstrating everything that is good about the band, playful, spacey and able to rock out with the best of them.
As we approach the end of the album, the band find the stillness at the heart of the universe, slowing things down on the elegant “Mr Floyd Walker”, awash with drifting ambience and light, before “Dawn Of The Dub Revisited” allows us to finally touch down, filled with bliss, smiling and enchanted. (Simon Lewis-PTOLEMAIC TERRASCOPE).

"Welsh psyche/space rockers Sendelica storm the asteroid belt with this blazing follow-up to their inaugural disc earlier this year. Sendelica unleash a full metal jacket of psychedelic madness on the seven tracks that comprise Spaceman Bubblegum. The group's arsenal of sound is quite impressive: the hypnotic pulse of Can, the impressionistic atmospherics of Pink Floyd, the motorized proto-punk of Neu, the space patrolling guitar pyrotechnics of Hendrix and the otherworldly ambiences of The Orb. "Indrid Cold" burns and smokes with the fires of a star going supernova. Bingham's acid guitar attack is especially coruscating, leading the way through the dustlanes of some imaginary nebula at the heart of the galaxy."

SENDELICA/GRANT WAKEFIELD - SLEEPWALKER FEVER
(DVD)
"DVD as a medium is not one that comes our way that often, but judging by this, it is a format that well serves the Terrascopic mind.
The relaxing and ambient, “Sleepwalker Fever” is a gently psychedelic ramble through our world, images of cityscapes and landscapes juxtaposed, with the glorious space rock of Sendelica adding a tranquil layer to the visuals. Treated, coloured, slowed down and speeded up, the visuals blend with the sound in unison creating a world of pure relaxation, the listener/viewer allowed o settle back and enjoy the journey. Just let the experience wash over you, the perfect way to soothe those frazzled nerve endings. An ambient treat without ever becoming new age bollox, the music is rich and rewarding with some fine saxophone playing stealing the show.
Fans of visual art are well served by these releases, offering the perfect blend of image and sound to the discerning purchaser". (Simon Lewis Ptolmaic Terrascope)
**************************************************************************
"A measure of their amazing, and almost telepathic musical connection, is the fact that most of their second full length album was recorded in one day! SENDELICA have already had comparisons to the music of top bands such as Pink Floyd, Ash Ra Temple, The Bevis Frond, Hawkwind, Sundial and The Spacious Mind, and they deserve thier place in such high company. However, they still manage to retain the originality that has made them so many fans across the world !!!!!!!!!!! It is impossible not to be completely blown away by the sheer power of the music they create. The future for SENDELICA looks very bright, and deservedly so. Every single person I talk to about the band shares the same excitement at the mere mention of the bands name".

SENDELICA – THE ALTERNATIVE REALITIES OF THE RE-AWAKENING SOMNAMBULIST
"With the dial set firmly on ambient, the latest album from Sendelica is a slowly swirling magic carpet, the music lifting the listener into the sunshine, out into space where all roads lead to chill. With nods to both “Echoes” era Floyd and the ambient textures of KLF, the music has at its core the warm and fluid guitar of Pete Bingham, his restrained and dexterous playing filling the album with a human touch. On “”The End Starts with the Beginning”, a softly played sax, courtesy of Lee Relfe, dances with the guitar, creating emotion and lifting the song into heavenly realms. Elsewhere, the music reminds me of the opening sequence to “Withnail and I”, a wistful melancholy that is beautiful to hear, the music perfectly paced, with each player giving space to the other". (Simon Lewis)
*************************************************************************
"It seems as if Sendelica always have a couple of ideas for every song, around which they create agile improvisations that work all the time, proving that these are musicians that understand each other’s ideas and who are used to playing together. I often have my problems with free-form music, because all too often, it ends up in self-indulgent navel gazing, but the Welsh three-piece Sendelica are a welcome exception, making Spaceman Bubblegum an interesting addition for fans of Hawkwind, Gong and Seventies psyche and kraut rock generally".

Recorded: live on March 16, 2003 at the Beta Lounge in San Francisco
In 1967, San Francisco’s Fifty Foot Hose were certainly one of the
innovators of a sound that took Psychedelia to new heights and was
captured on the band’s one record, Cauldron. They are a totally
unique hybrid—on one hand pulsating bay area acid rock, on the other,
fractured electronic freakery, becoming one whole cohesive being. The
sci-fi-ish video game-like artwork hinted at the sounds within, as did
the Limelight label’s pedigree for truly progressive sounds. Band
leader, Cork Marcheschi, used homemade electronic devices to create
crude and experimental soundscapes and instrumental compositions that
were sprinkled throughout the album.
Often starting shows with a swelling rumble that exploded into the
first song, they soon developed a rabid following on the SF scene,
though there was the occasional totally wrong gig, like when a
very-pregnant Nancy had to perform at a Catholic Girls’ school! Still,
the group wowed the crowds, performing with greats like Chuck Berry and
Fairport Convention.
I haven't stopped by in a while. I wanted to tell everyone on here that my debut CD called "Balance" will be available on iTunes, Amazon MP3, and eMusic. Please be on the lookout for that. Thanks. Peace.
P.S. I will stop by here again to check out more of your stuff.
