Progressive, psychedelic poweretrio

"Recorded live at the Roadburn festival at Tilburg on 04/18/08 this is psychedelic, jambased triorock of the highest calliber. Adventurous and mindexpanding. Kind of Jimi Hendrix meets Hawkwind.
And although Isaiah Mitchell's inventive guitarbrilliance is in the foreground, all three players have equal share - like Cream - in the collective musical magic. Mario Rubalcaba's harddriving drummming, Mike Eginton's fleetfingered thunderbass. All three technically accomplished, prolific musicians and fine improvisers. In fact Isaiah is able to solo non-stop in all 80+ min.s without sounding boring or repetitive. Sign of a true maestro.
Heartwarming and life-affirmative for an old psychonaut to hear a younger band like this. A ticket to inner bliss for everybody into honest and explorative music. Let the bass and drums massage your lower chakras while the guitar takes your soul on a ride."
You must get this on vinyl

"This is an amazing recording, band, and package. Heavy gram vinyl only makes the experience ethereal. Ok, really, if you like the long guitar solos on live versions of 'dazed and confused', and like instrumental psychedelic rock with a lot of thermamin and never ending crescendos, you will love these guys from San Diego. Check out their other albums, as each one has the same live feeling as well. And of course, check them out live if you can."

"I thought their 2 studio albums were great (they are) but OH MY GOD!
This one is truly incredible. These guys create a symphony in cranking rock intrumentals. Isaiah Mitchell is one unbelievable guitarist! Earthless leave bands like the Ozric Tentacles (another one of my favorites) in their dust. If could give this 6 stars I would! WOW!"
