Sky Cries Mary-'Fresh Fruits For The Revolution'(World Rev.)

"'Fresh Fruits...' is the only Sky Cries Mary release I think I've ever had.They're a Seattle based six-piece that plays neo-psychedelia.The disc is not exactly a mind blower,but it's okay.The cuts I liked best are "Movement Of Water","Moonbathing" and their two covers,the Stone's "2000 Light Years From Home" and Pink Floyd's "Wot's...Uh The Deal".Line-up:Roderick & Anisa Romero-vocals,Michael Cozzi-guitar,Juano Davison-bass,Ben Ireland-drums and Jill Wangsgard-keyboard.Might appeal to some fans of Kula Shaker,Lenny Kravitz,Gwen Mars and possibly Blur."

Trippy B-sides album

"Unbelivable. What a great mix of space rock/prog/industrial psychadellia.



Standout tracks:

"Goodbye Horse" is so spaced out, beautiful piano, yet completely insane.



"Where does it end.... and Where does it begin" is a freaked out jam session with crazy echoing sound effects.



"2000 Light Years From Home" a rolling stone cover.



"Corner Man" their strongest track, simply amazing.



"Movement of Water" another fav, alternate instramental intro to A return to inner experience



"Every Iceburg is afire" more industrial/techno than the album version.



"Wots...uh the Deal?" Pink Floyd cover, well done.



"To the one you love" Mesmorizing"

3 or 3.5 stars, rounded up because I like them

"I have long been a fan of Sky Cries Mary and I welcomed this to my collection. I enjoyed particularly the cover of Pink Floyd's 'Wot's Uh The Deal?' from 'Obscured By Clouds', although their own work is definitely very good as well. If you aren't familiar with Sky Cries Mary, I don't think this is a good place to start with them, although Anisa Romero (and the whole band!) is incredible and I certainly recommend giving this cd a listen."
