Dipsomaniacs. There's a good band for you. From Norway. Made great records in the past and on first listen this is no different. Definately more laid back and less frantic than their other records with a bigger emphasis on the more drawn out psychedelic freak out type stuff. The Tremolo of her Mind is on CD and LPDIPSOMANIACS - THE TREMOLO OF HER MIND..THE STRINGS OF HER SOUL LP APAREC023
'Kicking off with the cool 4:35 instrumental Miles Away, that feels like some methodical epic climbing hymn to clear horizons and hope; given a blind test drive I'd guess it was Cerberus Shoal in a very good mood, in part due to the gratuitous and lovely employment of brass. Flowing beautifully (the segue works without the following track feeling clipped if started separately) into the country flavored Before Painting Your Murals and it's a Norwegian mirror of American western mythos in a certain Byrds-Burrito sorta way that feels utterly natural and of a warm songlike fullness that rivals any previous Dipso's pop outing; with lyrics, and melodic structure and all. Next is the quarter of an hour of Dipso Raga #1 (for George) which lives up to the title by its structure and sitar like pluck and strum, but soon the tidal sway is rolling and reeling into slightly free jazzy territory, and again I'm reminded more of Cerberus Shoal or JOMF than anything I'd have previously associated with these guys. Hear Me, Take Me is a gentle acoustic lullaby of nearly wordless vocals, guitar, pump organ and chimes that feels like utter bliss for almost four minutes. The staggering twenty minute In Syd's Garden, is the one that gonna make all space rock fans froth at the mouth. Good and thick with lots of glowing keyboards and extra-terrestrial instrumental wigging, this builds to a climactic plateau and then surveys the scene, the camera turning sweeping 360 degree views at the summit, crowning yet another creative milestone for this stellar outfit.' - George Parsons, Dream Magazine. The CD-edition is released by Free City Media. A limited run of the limited vinyl-edition comes with a beautiful poster drawn by artist Sverre Wilhelm Malling. !
