Residual Echoes - MFI-GBSP [Rocket Recordings - 2006]Mfi-Gbsp is like dropping back through time, to the late 60’s or early 70’s and walking through a desert and coming across a small fire , huddled around the fire are a group of hippies, bashing out this earth rthymic music, the air is high with all sorts of debuses substances and as you get nearer the fire you get sucked deeper into the music. On offer are four tracks, each track is basically strummed acoustic and electric guitars with freaky stretches of snthy like sounds and a few effects peddles, and often off key chanted vocals. I know that doesn’t sound that inviting, but trust me they seem to manage to boil up some really neat trance inducing music, that has a natural honesty to it, like dirt under the finger nails earthiness. You’ll find you self spiralling down muilt coloured slides, into cosmic leering mouths, drifting in star consolations, as the guitar solo drifts in batted glory across, the tribal and loose musical incarnations. An enjoyable trip (man!), that drops down in hippy acoustic jams, but often carers off in to rocked up elements, so come close to the fire, the shows about to begin.
