Sula Bassana & the Nasoni Pop Art Experimental Band, 2006, Germany


I just recently found this Sula Bassana fellow, whom I believe to be a bassist primarily. He has released many more albums than I originally thought, with various lineups. The first album I heard was The Night, which was a really interesting space rock kind of band that I was ecstatic about adding to my collection. I found that he was also behind the album/band Interkosmos. And now I'm spinning this one over and over.

The album starts with Slowner, which still seems to be my favorite. You can hear for yourself.

The second track, Terrascrew, continues the jam forward while letting off the gas a little, so to speak. This prepares you for Ridin' and Go which make up the meat of the middle of the album. The Night After brings you to almost a complete halt, as it winds it's way forward backed with haunting, fiercely whispered vocals. As this long interlude, which is what I made of it, comes to an end, the band brings us right back out of it and down a completely different sound and path with Pay For Freedom which unfortunately is not uploaded to youtube.
I would have posted a link to this one, so make sure to find a way to hear Pay For Freedom everyone. That's where the experimental part of their name came from. And it was done quite well.

We're back to normality so to speak with Daydreams. This is the most relaxing track on the album. We're taken on a nice surreal journey with soft sung lyrics. Then, as if being dosed, we're dropped off in the very vivid Emmerting Spring. Haunting instruments back the sounds of water and birds. Chanting against a simple guitar and bass 'riff'. Experimental atmospheric relaxation. Lots going on. This one clocks in at 9:24. It's worth visiting this 'place' again any time I need to find comfort.

Well that's the whole album. I was just gonna say a few words, but there y'are...
