The Italian band, Void Generator is back with their 3^rd release and this is something quite different as the band head into very long tracks. The CD has 4 songs in 76 mins, even though only 3 are listed on the CD.

The CD starts off with quite a riff work out and is called “Message from the Galactic Federation” and is 15 mins long. The band is a five piece with a person on synth and another on Accumulator but they are not contributing that much to the sound most of the time. This track is a complex three man rock riff work out that builds and comes down and rises again to return to the same cool riff. There are some electronics and synths mostly at the end where they repeat the riff over and over for several minutes in a very stoned fashion. Cool track. “The Morning” is next and takes us out there for 13 minutes. It starts slowly and a bit spacey. A melodic vocal slowly appears as well as the track builds. It reminds me a bit of Motorpsycho. Not sure why though. It is not until 5½ minutes that the band pick up the slow pace and the track develops. I think they took a bit too long in this first 5 mins. They could have added some cool synths or sound effects to spice it up, but perhaps they will do this live. The track is building up like a Colour Haze track by 8 minutes. There is some very nice spacey guitar and synths at the end. “The Eternaut” is next and goes on for 18 mins. It starts with a slow bass line and the guitar player takes his time to make his appearance but the huge stoner riff kicks in around 2 mins and off we go. The middle section has a very strange but cool spacedout like jazz guitar solo with some nice effects pedals being used. After the guitar solo, a heavy section with spaced out organ and synth effects takes you to another planet. An amazing track. But even though the tracks listed are finished there is a 23 minute bonus jam that is totally amazing with some killer guitar work. This is just a fantastic CD.
