THE REVIEW

2003 

Deep space, around us only the silent and desolate darkness of infinity. 

...

Empty space, the lungs scream their hunger for air, the voice screams its inevitable silence.

Then, in the distance, a red and yellow light. Quickly it approaches us, a galaxy. It takes us in, engulfs us and transports us through the extrasensory depths of the spacetime of our self, where matter and non-matter merge to create mnemonic images, thoughts, sensations.

Paul Chain, after "Sign From Space," tries again with "Cosmic Wind." He tries again to separate our body from our physical perception; our reasoning, from our present. In a work of forty-eight minutes divided into two tracks, the former Death SS manipulates spacerock sounds, doom, and a good dose of electro-psychedelic improvisation, in order to launch us on a journey among pulsating planets, gaseous comets, electric clouds, and free falls into pale oblivions. 

Stonermetal becomes ambient, thoughts become images, sounds become colors.
