THE REVIEW

I took advantage of my latest vinyl purchase to dive back into these psychedelic exploits. Meanwhile, I leave a chronological summary of the Specchy albums:

  • Of course, there is a first album, as well as the aforementioned vinyl purchase;
  • Happily, there is also a second one;
  • A year ago a third one was released;
  • I've just discovered (yay!) that there is now a fourth one (in this case, a humble suggestion: minute 13 second 6).

A bit before the middle of the range sits this EP (2014), a collection of jams gathered with a few days in the studio that got them back on track after the long pause following their debut: I would define it as an orgone panel rather than a solar collector. In the manner of what they exhale from their instruments, the core in the conception of the tracks is improvisation, and that's exactly how their albums are born, as thoughtful choices of jams. Already well (better, mej, more good) offered in the debut, in Solar Collector there is music not too different from a walk in the desert, a more than tangible habitue for these Arizona guys.

Solar Collector

Probably the great effort lies in trying to channel natural life cycles through blends of acoustic and electric sounds, enveloping the listener in a sensation of biological cycle: their music aims for this, according to interviews. In any case, I suggest sipping it in small doses if you lack a mood that suits long instrumental digressions. I think it's an album of remarkable orgonic energy available to all, but for what it's worth, maybe it's too expensive to buy.
