Landing - Sphere

Sphere by Landing

4...according to our on Thu 30 Nov, 2006.

Landing are a fairly decent space/post rock group non K who develop a little way along the path to greatness with each release.  This new album contains more vocals and more of a kraut rock pulse. Some of the guitars a lovely. Its kind of like some of the experimental bits of the Field Mice in a wierd kind of way.  Its all long and drawn out and wintery. For the uninitiated think Slowdive, Low, Portal, Windy and Carl.

Cycling past the deep trips of previous Landing outings, Sphere settles into a gently rock-y world. Landing are known for dishing up a mildly psychedelic mindscape; with this album they have reconfigured their oeuvre to include the traditional tools of psychedelic rock: more drums, more rhythm, more “songs”. Recorded at their own Hi Mid studio, Landing have crafted a softly vacillating sound, a rippling set of tones, a feeling that is akin to their Vessyl brethren Yume Bitsu, Version and Surface of Eceon. The Vessyl is a loose collection of abstract collaborations between like-minded psychedelic legionnaires. Landing has been the flagship combo of the Vessyl, a champion launching uncounted voyages through light. 10 songs:Fluency of Colors · Gravitational I · Into Silence · Gravitational II · Where the Leaves... · Solstice · Sphere · Filament · Gravitational III · Feel, and the Seas Fill
