Rating: The disappointment is great, the discouragement is deep, the sense of emptiness unbearable, the sadness abyssal, but I must do justice to the Vox Populi!.
This digital artifact is the reissue of a 30-year-old cassette, appearing like a dream with blurred contours on timeless beaches, where female ghosts dance like dervishes in the leaden sky before the imminent storm.
This is the official online reissue to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the cassette album. Remastered by Axel Kyrou, one of the members for the 2013 vinyl reissue.
The 1987 cassette digitally exhumed sounds like an impromptu Voodoo ritual of exotic music in the Catacombs, beneath and above Mother Earth.
Half Dead Ganja Music is a rare artifact of a timeless biblical effort to create a profound sensation, with disinterested creativity, for a limbo Kingdom between the physical realities of the earth and the mystical Kingdom that persists in a parallel way in living beings.
This is music with an unpretentious occult aroma, but with a gradual release, without jolts between human and non-human senses.
Layers upon layers of music follow one another elaborately, a mix of confused and wordless female voices in an unknown litany, with traits of a dark and decadent cabaret.
It is a harmless trip in every sense of the term, transporting us through twelve succinct studio and live recordings via the desert Persian influenced vocal emanations of the vocalist Mitra.
It ranges from aerial drones and sparse drum machine pulses to synth vortices that burrow the mind, never letting anything settle for too long, always floating from one side to the other of the same hallucination before further expanding into a finale of free psychoactive fun.
