Description/Reviews
First up is the title track, 'Liquid Sun', which jumps straight in with some spacey effects over the easy flow of the guitar, bass and drums, conjuring up visions of some desolate planet at the furthest reaches of the cosmos. As the track progresses the guitar becomes more urgent, driving things forward. A nice mid-tempo space track. Next up is 'Spaceship Breakdown' which begins with a throat being cleared and some acoustic guitar before the keyboards and guitar proper join in. In the background are some dense but lush washes of synth giving the track a kosmische feel. Things get heavier as the track goes on, the riffs become almost Sabbath like and the synths add a nice organ feel to it and throughout the drums are rock solid. By the end it has become a space/acid jam. The album's magnum opus is the last track, 'Black Hole' at just over 21 minutes in length. It starts in a laid back manner with just synth and guitar playing a relatively simple melody. After the bass and drums join proceedings it becomes heavier with some nice delay on the guitar. It is an engrossing track and the 21 minutes fly by in the company of spacey effects and synth lines... space rock at its best.
