"Truly a wonderful psychedelic rock experience. The album ( Band ) demands an open mind (or mind-opening substances) to truly sink in, though. If you like a tie around your neck, this band is not for you. " Not my quote but that says it all for me. Magnificently trippy , psychedelic prog rock made for floating out in the cosmic stratosphere .
Their music exhibits a slightly Middle-Eastern or Far-East flavour w/ a complexed intricate texture of very warm and fluid musical motion . One of my favorite space rock groups. I have Symbiosis, Balansia and Symetria ,I want the rest .In fact I'm ordering Live at Heart, tonight.

Re: HIDRIA SPACEFOLK Finnish Spacemen

I didn't mean to crap on this band, but the music is extremely spacey. Is this the type of music you have to listen to an album begin to end?


Best album?

Re: HIDRIA SPACEFOLK Finnish Spacemen

It has a very....interesting sound to it. I'm not really used to it yet, but I don't hate it. I'm starting out with I-Mantra.
