Long Distance Trip [VINYL]

25 Mar 15 - I wrote the review below last year - and have returned once again to this outstanding album - for me, it is the best SBE platter having sampled all of them now. You must at least listen to this on YouTube (and then buy it!!) plus you can catch the band live at Rockpalast on the same website - live they are even more mind-blowing. BUY THIS ALBUM NOW!!!I tried to purchase this album from my local record shop (after hearing it on the net) only to be told that they do not sell "imports". Their problem! Tried (for the first time) Amazon. Platter was duly delivered, on time, from Ge. One word - OUTSTANDING, 'nuff said; other than you must buy this NOW, not now, but NOW! I have nearly worn out my copy in some 6 weeks! Take early Sabbath, Hawkwind, Pink Floyd and that is pretty much it, other than a tad of eastern mysticism. Trust me, this is outrageously HEAVY and brilliant. The other key decider - the Long Haired Director loathes it with a vengeance. Result!!

What a fantastic album! It sounds like musicians playing their instruments all together at the same time, NOT like an over-produced studio album where a hundred takes were done of each instrument...Real musicians playing their socks off.It's not really fair to compare bands to others as it can give the wrong impression of what they sound like, but I can say that I like Earthless and I like Hawkwind and this album sits happily in that general section of my CDs. A friend referred to them as stoner rock.Marvelous band.

Fine band and excellent music.

Perfect thankyou!!!

Samsara Blues Experiment have produced a hypnotic blues played in a very dirty sludgy soundscape. It is a little confused in the use of eastern instruments, it seems just to get a rather formulaic meditative vibe. But the result is a very good album indeed, although not as quite the coherence of 'Waiting for the Flood', in my opinion. Hence only 4 stars.

Psychedelic space rock at its best.

exellent

Best of the three albums.Fantastic.
