UGH!�s �Metaustrat� is yet another entry into the world of heavy tuneage from Colour Haze guitarist Stefan Koglek�s Elektrohasch label. Eschewing the rather more unified approach of labelmates Colour Haze and Hainloose, UGH! Dips their wicks in a number of different musical genres, including sludge, garage, hypno, desert, and good old hard psych, with several of these often popping up in the same song. They�re aces at everything they try; a strong testament to their talent. Extras like Flo Erlbeck on Pissed Sax and Fozzie the Duke on Trash n� Roll guitars, not to mention Koglek himself jamming out on guitar on a couple of tunes. �Deep Red River� sounds like something they�d play while the credits of a particularly demented David Lynch film roll by, while �Terminus� is just excellent, driving hard stoner psych.

"Deep Red River"is fantastic! Great chorus and superb guitars! I also like "Cubicle" with a wonderful guitar solo at the end (by Stefan Koglek) and the swamp-blues-rocker "Fatburner" with a sax-solo that fits exactly! "Hermetic" is quite interesting too. Really recommended stuff for all those listeners who are bored by the common stoner rock stuff! Quite unusual CD! Get it!
