(Psychedelic / Space Rock) 35007 (a.k.a. Loose) - Phase V - 2005, WAVPack , lossless

35007 are an obscure, lonely band from the Netherlands; Holland to you and me. Why they are so unknown is a mystery to me. The stoner rock., prog rock and pschedelic music lover should be lapping this up eagerly. You aren't likely to forget such a weird band name either.
Phase V is similar to Liquid, their last album, but where Liquid was based upon quiet/loud dynamics Phase V is build around atmosphere and texture. There are a hell of a lot more guitar solos and more washes of keyboard and the lap steel plays seemingly a good part in most tracks.
35007 are instrumental jamming masters; theres lots of melody in these tracks underpinned by the quality rhythm section over which the guitars and other effects playfully interact. As I said in my review of Liquid; 35007 are all about ebb and flow and Phase V flows superbly over rocking, psychedelic jamming terrain perfectly for over 40 mins. There is a strong Pink Floyd influence running throughout 35007's work that is typified by how the keyboards, bass and guitars all interact and no elements are fighting for space. I definitely appreciate the addition of soloing and more obvious jamming elements compared to Liquid, occasionally that album became a little stale and decent solos add some life and soul into the music.
If you think an instrumental Pink Floyd that are a bit more freeform then you should have a good basis for imagining 35007's music, because it's pretty hard to describe! Its the type of music that is immediately likeable yet takes time to sink in as its intricacies unfolds with each listen, kind of like a Neurosis or a Melvins album in that respect or indeed a Pink Floyd album.
I have a strong feeling that Phase V will creep into my top ten albums of this year (2005) alongside my regular favourite artists like Clutch, Beck, YOB, & Sons Of OTIS, no small feat when I only actually bought anything by these guys a few months ago.
Step aside Pelican, and come forth 35007, for you are the newly crowned masters of instrumentalism! Awesome stuff, I could listen to it forever.
