Elysian Pleasures

by Carpet

supported by

muschiosauro Drawing from many influences - notably King Crimson and Canterbury with a Zappian touch - Carpet stir up a warm and sublimely velvety brew, so dense that could almost be eaten. The centerpieces feature long instrumental passages, carefully structured within a prog frame so that the jazzier/psychier elements never take the song astray. A perfect balance of abundance and structure, visually reflected in the stunning, constructivist textbook and cover art. Sweet food for the ear and the brain. Favorite track: Man Changing The Atoms.

StrangeFlow This King Crimsonesk Prog-Psych-Jazz Album seems like rather one long song to me - i love the attitude and how all instruments create patterns that grip into each other and also the characteristc sound of this album. If you like music you should listen to this! Favorite track: Man Changing The Atoms.
