It was love at first listening. A few seconds of the first track, and thought: this is it!
The first track, Arrival on Titan got me hooked so much that now I listen to it every single day. It’s made of pure, unrestrained energy, boosted by the zippy vocals. The tune is the icing on the cake, it stays in the head immediately.
The album – as you can guess by the title – tells us of a space journey to one of Saturn’s moons, Titan. At first, the astronauts are enthusiastic, but the second track, Ice, Wind&Desert (which is just as exquisite as the first) is about Titan not being such a cool place, since the crew is dying of thirst and freezing. Then starts the psychosis. Visions, hallucinations, everything comes up, served with plaintive singing and catchy tunes. The first five tracks are all genuine stoner anthems, real hits.
The total breakdown of the astronauts start with Loving Guardian, an instrumental track. The following are slower, more ont he doom and psychedelic side, the singing also gets stoned out.
The energy comes back for Escape From the Moon, most likely because they finally get out of Titan. The last track is in real lets-get-stoned style, its name is L.ight S.how D.isaster, if you get what I mean.
I don’t feel capable to put into words all this energy coming from this album. You have to listen to it to feel it. The whole album is so gloriously brought together, all the details are worked out, every single track is a masterpiece, at no moment you feel your attention wandering away. It’s a pity that the band has finished working together.
