Accolades for These Things Take Time
Recorded on KFJC 89.7FM on December 11th 1999, this album is different in their predecessors as the sound is totally focused on rock/experimental, reaching the acid-laden freaksound that bands as Pink Floyd, Hawkwind and Rush also created in the '70s. In 45 minutes, These Things Take Time takes you on a trip in a landscape of whirring and screeching guitars, the bass humming in the background and the drums providing a perfect steady rhythm throughout the album. In the entirety of this albums, vocals are not missed. The ever-changing textures of SubArachnoid Space makes this album easy to sit through, and even makes you longing for more. There's no such thing as 'best song' on this album, as the individual songs are subordinate to the album itself, and the album itself is a long, hard, hallucinogen-induced high.
This CD is a lengthy journey through strange psychedelia, acid jazz, and space rock, seeming like an impromptu yet brilliantly organized stream of artistic consciousness. The songs meld into one another, and are separated only by various shifts in mood or intensity. There are peaks of noise and abrasive tension, as well as valleys of hypnotic ambience, which contributes to the manic atmosphere of the CD, but primarily, the album is just one extended jam session, heavily laden with groove and dark art-rock flashes.
