 Along with Blown Out, it’s already leaving the Solar System (vintage synthesizers adjust the rotational motions) on a trajectory that intersects and sometimes grazes those of Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream, and Pink Floyd.

The review paints Algol as a space-themed album rich in cosmic mythology and vintage synthesizer sounds. It draws parallels with iconic space-psychedelic artists like Brian Eno and Pink Floyd. The reviewer uses vivid celestial imagery to describe the immersive experience. Although the rating is moderate, the album is portrayed as a thoughtful exploration of space and psychedelia. Algol offers a niche but engaging journey for fans of atmospheric synth music. Dive into Algol’s cosmic synthscape and explore a unique psychedelic journey through space-inspired sound.

 Psychedelic psychotropic trips, acid Kraut, liquid loops, wurstel and Americana, prolixity at full throttle with bandanas on their heads, dreaming of colorful mushrooms like on the cover of Sacred Mushroom.

 A perhaps not easy but probably not even sought mediation between jam, writing and exhausting repetitions that in the happiest moments radiates in the room the old Krautrock brought to new by those stoners of Quicksilver Messenger Service.
