Melting Euphoria - 'Upon The Solar Winds' (Cleopatra)

"This San Francisco five piece is said to be like a cross-breed of Hawkwind and The Orb,with a female vocalist.At least on this CD,their second effort.'Upon The...' is truly an incredable nine track disc.Beci,their girl singer performs on only three tracks.Zero Devilin is responsible for the moog and other specail sound effects.My first listening of "Venusian Skyline" was from a limited Cleopatra label sampler in which totally drew my interest in finding out more about this band.Other way-out compositions are "Harbour Of Infinity","Scarab Sounds" and "Crystalline Wind".'Upon The Solar Winds' is simply good modern day space rock.Recommended as ALL the other Melting Euphoria releases.You won't regret it."

"If you can find this one, be sure to pick it up. Excellent spacerock in the vein of Steve Hillage and Ozric Tentacles, this is probably ME's best album (also their first). The music is all instrumental, bass heavy but not throbbing like dance music. Filled with wordless female vocals, space whooshes, edgy guitar, Middle Eastern touches, ambient passages, and jazzy percussion, this is a feast for anyone who likes psychedelic music."
