Space Debris Phonomorphis

Phonomorphosis' is the title of the first studio album of Space Debris since the legendary 'Elephant Moon' from 2008 and was recorded in Mannheim, Germany by Jan Dewald. The sound is richer than usual. Drummer Christian Jäger once again plays a Ludwig drumset from the 70s, but this time with larger drum sizes, which immediately brings more weight to the sound. The record contains four 20 minute tracks, very different, highly varied krautrock-monster-long tracks in the genres of psychedelic rock, hard rock and fusion. The first song 'Colossus Stranded' floats with a long organ intro melancholy in the psychedelic guest vocals from Magic Petra, (the cover paintings, once again corresponding with the music, are also by her), then mutate into a dreamy- contrasting hardrocker, the opposite end turns to a classic purple battle between organ and guitar. The title song 'Phonomorphosis' is a very versatile musical trip using all registers of the krautrock craft, even drifting towards dub themes and psychedelic funk at the end. The third long track 'Cat Flow Deluxe' sounds first like Zappaesque blues, followed by coolness a la The Doors and the end brings almost oriental but dirty rock. The song 'Journey Back To The Moon' is very reminiscent of their first albums with heavy, distorted, wailing organ, as if it was recorded in 1970. It's the only song which was already recorded (at the end of 2012 in a different recording session). Ca. 78 minutes.
