Demo Review : SpaceGod
SpaceGod in ten words or less: "An introspective psychedelic blues explosion of a tortured robotic...dog"
Combining Dire Straits guitars, Jim Morrison vocals and Pink Floyd soundscapes can't be easy. The ambition in these three tracks that draws on influences past and future is actually worthy of a daft overblown name like SpaceGod. They may as well be called Europa or Utopian Wild Berry Fantasy, or some other shampoo sounding name. The bottom line, jokes and jibes aside, is here is a demo you may actually want to listen to again...and again.
These early recordings are the greatest testament to the daring ideas SpaceGod harbour and although it loses it grip at times and drags like an extended version of Lord of the Rings in others the sheer sublime moments of beauty are worth the listen alone.
It's just comforting to know that as the world turns to shit and drags music down with it people are still writing ambitious songs with this much creative energy. The world would less exciting if people didn't or hadn't attempted to make music like this. The world would be a more boring place without SpaceGod.
