Cellar Overdose is one of several CD-R’s release by the band
that are like gold dust now for collectors. Released back in 2012 as CD-R on
Sulatron Records and then an extended double vinyl version on the same label,
it is now released again on a lovely white slab of wax on Komet Lulu’s
(Electric Moon bassist) new label Worst Bassist Records.
Having already listened to versions of the show many times,
it does feel a little strange reviewing this as a re-release, so I am basically
going to wax lyrical about how good it is.
If you want a record that will literally blow your mind with
its dark brooding outer space psych rock, this is it. Look no further. Set the
controls towards the outer limits of your mind.
The Soul Feeder drifts through time and space slowly as the
track evolves again and again. The bassline slowly creeps along with the guitar
quietly soaring in and out, hooked with some wah-wah before a raw, almost magnetic
sounding riff begins to take shape. Your journey through space continues at a
head-nodding, rhythmic chanting pace as your sense of cosmic being turns darker
and heavier. At around the eleven minute mark, the bass line that has now well
and truly warped your mind, makes a slight shift and totally blows your mind. Lightening
off for a few more minutes you can see yourself being drawn towards something
else in the sky before you come hurtling back into the atmosphere. No matter
how many times you listen to this song, the trip never follows the same path
twice.
The Idle Glance starts lighter as a more spacious track,
feeling as though both feet are still on planet Earth even though you are still
moving at a fast pace. The drums and cymbals crash whilst guitar riff soar
above it and the bass takes off and everything is launched into the cosmos and
beyond. At around twelve minutes you feel as though you have reached your planetary
destination, and circumnavigate its atmosphere to realise what has brought you
there. After that you will need to draw your own conclusion to where the
journey ends.
On the CD and digital version only you get the bonus track Lost and Found Souls which is another sonic trip through the heights of German space rock and its trance inducing finest.
This is the first release on Worst Bassist Records and you
have to check out the next few releases and re-issues as they all look rather
special.
