Marble Sheep - 2007 - Message From Oarfish

Enormous!!! And right from the beginning, this album has a kick ass start!!! Drums, guitars and bass rock á la THE WHO in a sweet endless three minutes riff as an intro of the great tune "TEARS" which is the first cut of this very cool album MESSAGE FROM OARFISH.

Soon, right in the second cut "MANA", you'll realise this record will give you more satisfaction than surprises, which is not a few. And that's because I find this second song more rocky than first one, more seventies flavoured. This second song will show you how Jimi Hendrix could be reincarnated on a japanese...

And after this one, you will leave psychedelic realms to enter into some garage fuzz tune titled "RAISE THE DEAD", like if they were brothers of the NEW BOMB TURKS!!!!!!

This album is a melting pot, where every style related with psychedelia is melted and mixed naturally. "SKULL COOL" demonstrates why: this could be done by THE LYRES themselves!!!!
And I can continue until the end of the album... sure you can get the picture is I tell you into song "EGYPTIAN QUEEN" some typical chorus claps go with the distorted voice until fuzzy noisy guitar shut'em down for a solo... awesome.

And of course, heavy guitars give the core of the song on the last one FROM THE CENTER, which will invite you to give this album infinite spins again.

This album would be perfect if it weren't by the interlude song (sixth one) titled "IT'S TIME". You all know that NoizeLand will never understand these kind of cuts, apart from being filler... but on the other hand, it gives you a breath just like a tv break on a film...
