"The soaring space violin of Simon House adds depth and speed for this exhilarating trip through the universe. Space rock at it's finest!"
Spiral Realms - 'A Trip To G9' (Cleopatra)

"'A Trip...' was the band's first of three(3)releases.For those of you who may not know,Spiral Realms was the project of Hawkwind/Third Ear Band resident violinist Simon House.Best described as part ambient,part progressive space.Pressurehed's synth player Len Del Rio gives House a helping hand on this disc.Best tracks are the title cut "A Trip To G9",the trippy "Red Giant" and the CD's twelve-minute epic "Solar Flares".I think I liked their 'Solar Wind' disc better(see my review).Believe that Voiceprint has reissued this title as a 2-CD with the second disc featuring remixes of the original disc's songs.Sweet!Just might appeal to some fans of Spectrum,Fuxa,Red Crayola and possibly Silver Apples."
