There's really no other place like San Diego. The weather's balmy all year, there's 70 miles of the finest coastline California has to offer, it has one of the most ethnically diverse populations in the US and -- most importantly -- it's currently the epicenter for heavy psychedelic rock. Bands such as
Earthless
,
Astra
, and
Radio Moscow
have paved the way for an astounding number of bands, creating a tight knit community of musicians. On this session Denmark's
Jonas Munk
(
Causa Sui
) joins forces with San Diego native
Brian Ellis
(who's not only a prime mover in the psychedelic scene, but has also been active in California's jazz and funk circuits for several years), and an assemblage of prime musicians from the area, including members of Astra,
Psicomagia
,
Monarch
, Radio Moscow, and
Sacri Monti
. The result is an intoxicating brew that's hard to put a label on. Fueled by the furious drumming of
Paul Marrone
, and led by Jonas Munk's fuzzy lead guitar and the multicolored keys of Brian Ellis, there's an unmoored, floating quality to the music the large ensemble was creating at these sessions. It's the kind of record you can put on and just let it wash over you. The closest references would be
Miles Davis
circa
Bitches Brew
(1970),
Hendrix
at Woodstock, or perhaps
Can
at their most blazing and levitational. The music flows like an electric river of vintage keys, percussion, and fuzz guitars. And it's glowing with life. Art by
Alan Forbes
. Liner notes by Jonas Munk.
