This sound of yesterdays tomorrow is here again, in the form of deep and sensitive krautrockish cosmic electro from this NYC supergroup that echoes Spacemen Three and Can.The cold and beautiful synths of Galaxy Toobin Gang are transmitted through the same wave-spaces as those of Laurie Spiegel, Terry Riley or Tangerine Dream and convey perfectly the sensation of simultaneous wonder and alienation that the members of the Peabody expedition must have felt when flying between the abnormally regular shapes of a monstrous mountain range hidden deep into the heart of a eternal screaming whiteness. Galaxy Toobin Gang's seven-track debut album is a truly timeless sounding piece of work created by Elliot Lipp and Speculator. Tuneful reminders of early Autechre and Jean Michel Jarre are to the fore, while swirls of Tangerine Dream keep everything ticking over. The sleeve was designed by Lee Douglas, the producer responsible for last year’s masterpiece, “New York Story”, on Rong.
