Axe - Music (Kissing Spell Records, 2002)

There are fragmented and conflicting reports about this band from Northampton, England. The name is supposed to be Axe, but they were also known as Crystalline or Axe Music. The group consisted of the very talented vocalist Vivienne Jones (also known as "Countess Vivienne"), Anthony Barford and R. Hillard on guitars, M. Nobbs on bass, and S. Gordon on drums and percussion. Their only release also has an uncertain title but is most commonly credited simply as "Music," dating back to 1969. Initially, it comprised only five tracks, but a reissue from Kissing Spell Records has recovered additional material and released the album in 2002 in a version including eight tracks and a live recording. The band’s sound is typically psychedelic rock, but contrary to what one might think, it evokes more the experiences typical of the West Coast than those commonly associated with Britain, at least not without some nuances. At times, one might even think of the Doors, although the sound of Axe is much more focused on guitar usage, which features sudden accelerations that unleash their full acidic and rock-blues vigor. There are evident references to the prevailing hippie culture of the time (for example, listen to "Peace Of Mind"), and the album also includes a cover of Arthur Lee's Love ("A House Is Not A Motel"). Keep an eye on the long three-act session of "The Child Dreams" and the live version of "Here To There." Partly due to the less-than-ideal quality of the recordings and partly due to the band's inclinations, the sound of the guitars is particularly raw, almost garage-like, which combined with Vivienne’s incredible and angelic voice results in a very, very unique combination.

Domboshawa - Minds Electrix (Drone Rock Records, August 26, 2017)

Released last year on Drone Rock Records, "Minds Electrix" is an LP by Domboshawa, a space-rock collective led by Anders Brostrom hailing, as often happens, from Northern Europe, and more precisely from the vibrant and psychedelic land of Sweden, Hagersten district in Stockholm. The album consists of six tracks of acid and psychedelic space music mostly inspired by the usual Ash Ra Tempel matrix or the long-standing revival of Acid Mothers Temple. However, it must be said that the album opens with a track, "Saturdaze," which closely resembles the David Gilmour-era Pink Floyd. But fortunately, the sound is more garage-oriented and less polished than that of the Floyd, and in any case, the album then evolves into a kind of long meditative trances, mantras made up of prolonged Spacemen 3-style sound waves, acidly repeated, where we catch drone elements ("Quicksilver," "Karlavagnen"...) and notable, imposing bass lines ("Far Beyond"...) along with a use of synths that, inserted into this dimension, produces vibrant echoes and reverberations that reach their pinnacle in "Aces High," composing a wonderful sound. The result is an album that I wouldn’t consider ā€œessentialā€ within the vast range of offerings in this genre, but it is a beautiful trip of psychedelic and space music that I can only suggest to enthusiasts of the genre or anyone in need of diving into an acid dimension for whatever reason. After all, we all need that from time to time.
