psychedelia

by Francesco Nunziata

One day, somebody will tally up all the times the esoteric, mystical atmospheres of certain late-Sixties Pink Floyd have come back to make their weight felt throughout the history of rock… That day, someone might even remember Eternal Tapestry, who open here with an "Ancient Echoes" that says it all. A slow, sterile build-up, so predictable that you could easily skip after a minute or a minute and a half – and don't worry, they pull the same trick again right after ("Cosmic Manhunt"). The space-fusion maneuvers of "Galactic Derelict" have a bit more reason to exist, though they still only tickle the surface, like an early, fuel-less, overly smug La Otracina. Then those Pink Floyd I mentioned before come back, and the boredom resumes – this time, yes… heading for the stars!

In the end, the best thing about it is the cover art.
