The Eetcafé Club reviews

Phew. Psychedelic rock as one long blues session, with lengthy improvised passages and hypnotic repetitions. Music designed for use whilst on mind-altering drugs, no question about it. But that also means that, with a clear head, this drivel is far less exciting and even a bit annoying, especially as it sounds like it comes from an era of countless albums that celebrate exactly this kind of sound. Musically, from today’s perspective, it’s not enough for me: bands like The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Cream, Vanilla Fudge, It’s a Beautiful Day, Iron Butterfly and so on have more to offer. Maybe you enjoy them, if you're into Grateful Dead. Which I'm not. This is not my cup of tea.
