 Elder, an heavy-psych band from Boston, USA, which with this second double LP (released last June 2nd on Stickman Records in Europe and Armageddon Label in the United States) entitled 'Reflections of a Floating World' forcefully enters the scene proposing with great forcefulness sounds that perhaps aren't original and unprecedented but are always a real boon for all those who feel the need for completely hallucinated space travels shot at the speed of sound.

 Omens, the band's fifth full-length, is the acme, the peak of this evolution, and it's the masterpiece of a very solid discography.
