Sometimes it's funny how people promote music. This album, for example, was pretty much pushed as the rebirth of psychedelic rock, created by guys who claim that the genre should not have died. However, being a music reviewer, I have seen tonnes of psychedelic rock albums come in. This genre is far from dead. I don't understand why people would think such a thing. Ok, true, maybe on the radio but people who solely listen to the radio should not have an opinion about music. Oh well, I'm digressing again. Let's just say that psychedelic rock is still raging on in all its glory and immediately add that this is a damn good album. It's not a rebirth but a splendid continuation.

Vibravoid is a band from Düsseldorf, Germany, formed in 1990. Since then, they have been extremely loyal to the psychedelic garage sound of the late sixties. From The Beatles to Jefferson Airplane, these guys truly breathe that fuzzed out and Indian inspired sound. The heavy use of sitar gives the whole thing an authentic feel, although it sometimes also reminds me of Cornershop. You know, from 'Brimful Of Asha'. That being said, also Stone Roses come to mind.

Oh well, if you are really into vintage sounding psychedelic rock, there is absolutely no reason not to love songs like 'Om Gang Ganpayte Namah', 'The Legend Of Dr. Robert' or 'Echoes Of Time'. This stuff is genuine, not another bandwagoner jumping on the psych-train. I can only advise you to check this out. Besides, those three 'Krautfaktor' tracks at the end are nothing short of amazing. This is top notch hippie stuff!!!
