Legends Of The Desert-
12" is classic stoner rock captured on limited edition azure
blue vinyl and various other colors. The
vinyl is beautiful and if your favorite color happens to be blue your eyes will
be smiling. The colorful art work of the
LP cover is eye-catching as well. Maybe that may not be a relevant aspect of music
for some people however I look at the entire package and enjoy it to the
fullest.
This
music is in relation to the Desert Fest. And
it is music that matches my taste buds just fine. In addition to being a
collector of vinyl, especially limited-edition colored vinyl, I do like to
actually play the music and enjoy it rather than putting it away to keep it all
minty fresh with hopes of cashing in on some poor sap that just has to have the
LP.
The
artist featured on this platter are as follows:
Fatso
Jetson, Yawning Sons, Waterways and a solo project under the direction of Mario
Lalli & Mathias Schneeberger.
This
is great instrumental rock music, with the exception of the opening track, “Semi
Lost” by Fatso Jetson, that has some good vocals. Why wouldn’t anyone want to
listen to a band with a name like that? If even just out of curiosity! Well,
they are good even though they have a decidedly different albeit funny name.
A lot
of this music is very twangy with effects, just a bit similar to surf music in
my estimation, but a lot heavier (not heavy as metal) and a lot more complex of
course. This is just cool stuff that doesn’t last nearly long enough! That is a
compliment, not a take away.
The B
side offers up two brilliant instrumental jams that will leave an impression on
you and I bet you will be seeking out more from these bands once you hear these
tracks. I know I am very interested in
exploring more and if you are a fan of stoner rock this is a must-have.
For
those of you interested, I checked out the Bandcamp
page where this is listed and it said there are only 5 copies left! You can get
it for $18 plus shipping from there or pay double that on Amazon. Just a
helpful hint if you want to grab a copy.
