Theory of Mind by Electric Moon released on Sulatron Records. If you like your psych droney, trance-like and with the nod-factor cranked up to 11 then “Theory of Mind” is for you as it basically ticks all the boxes. The vinyl version has four tracks spread out over two slabs of wax with the shortest track being a tad under 14 and half minutes long! As it was recorded live there is a relaxed, jam-like feel to the playing but the production is so shit-hot that, apart from the odd whistle or cheer, you could be mistaken for thinking that it is a studio album. The musicianship never dips below incredible and the individual members work as one and really feed off each other. All four tracks start off slow and its usually Sula Bassana’s guitar genius which is the catalyst for the rest of the band to take off and do their thing. There is a hypnotic quality to their music epitomised by the title track which draws you in with its gradual build up and motorik beat before all hell breaks loose. How the rest of the band manage to even attempt to keep up with Sula’s guitar is an impressive feat in itself but the fact that they almost seem to encourage him to take the psychedelic whig-out further and further just has to be commended. A new Electric Moon album is apparently just around the corner and I, for one, can not wait. Definite album of the year contender for sure.
