Green Milk From The Planet Orange - You take me to the World [Beta-lactam Ring - 2006]Japanese psychedelic dada prog weirdo’s offer up their sixth release You take me to the world, which gives us tow tracks of odd jabbering dialogue, spacey shrills, building atmospheric & some rocked-out moments. Their set up is relative striped down compaired with most prog bands only been straight 3 piece of; guitar, bass , drums and vocals. Impressively enough they real managed to tease and pull all manner of sound and atmopsphics out of their primal rock tools, as well as very inventive use of vocals. First we have seven minutes of killmekillmekillme- with it’s mix of bassy runs, percussive controlled chaos and all manner of vocal strangeness from almost sad jabbering, to manic shouts, screams, whistling and strange whining, making a bizarre track that works rather well and a fitting prelude to the last track. Next we have the strange hovering ambient prog meets rocked out tones of the twenty four minute Away. Starting with all manner of space craft and psychedelic hovering that wouldn’t have been out of place on a very strange 60’s tripped out movie, were it not for the strange chattering and mumbling of vocalist and guitarist Dead K. Then they masterfully build the track up into a more active bassy rock groove, with Dead K sweetly singing along over the top. Though Before long we're tiped back into the odd void with all manner of spacey string rustles, strange percussive space matter and Dead K’s now jabbering mad man vocal. Before once more the bassy riff builds up , but this time it just keeps building getting more heavy with some impressive freak out guitar playing. A very refreshing and inventive take standard rock tools sound- that keeps the listening wondering what unearth they'll throw at you next. It’s all toped off with a splendid foldout psychedelic Digipak full of skulls and cats!. Roger Batty
