Causa Sui
's three volumes of
Summer Sessions
are back in print, originally released in 2009. This time on the band's own label, on individual LPs for the first time since they were first released in 2008 and 2009. Re-packaged in El Paraiso's signature style. Originally the
Summer Sessions
were intended as a side project for the band -- a chance to explore their love for other genres such as American free jazz, krautrock, 1970s soundtracks, as well as the psychedelia and detuned stoner-rock that characterized Causa Sui's first two albums. But these three albums came to define the band, and have become modern classics of psychedelia and progressive rock since their initial release ten years ago. In a scene often characterized by loyalty to a specific period, there's something refreshing about Causa Sui's eclectic approach. With several guest appearances by
Coltrane
-devotee
Johan Riedenlow
on sax and electronics wiz
Rasmus Rasmussen
, Causa Sui venture far beyond stoner-rock platitudes. Take the grandiose opening statement for example -- the 24-minute "Visions Of Summer" taking up the entire A-side on
Vol. 1
(EPR 001LP): here new and old sounds dissolve in a mind-bending excursion that recalls
Future Days
-era
Can
, breezy tropicalia or
Herbie Hancock
's
Mwandishi
group, as much as it sparks associations to
Kyuss
or
Hendrix
. Other tracks, such as the frenetic "Rip Tide" on
Vol. 2
(EPR 002LP), heads into straight up free jazz territory with Riedenlow going absolutely bonkers on the sax. But this set also allows plenty of room for atmospheric pieces such as the sun-drenched "Venice By The Sea" on
Vol. 3
or the
Morricone
-esque "Cinecitta" on
Vol. 2
.
