Rated: ****

The instrumental improvisation three from Sydney, Australia called Frozen Planet … 1969 strike again! Indeed, that weird band with those weird dots in their name. They claim they’re Not From 1969 with the title of the new record; but they sure as hell sound like the acid boom that was that magical year. Cause you know, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant. But in the case of Frozen Planet … 1969, they come mighty close! It is their tenth album, and we know what we might expect; yet the outcome is always surprising and adventurous. Cause that is the entire nature of their recorded improvisation, they aim to lay claim to those magical moments, when inspiration smoothly transitions into psychedelic rock composition which is able to lift the spirit, enchant the heart and capture the mind. The three tracks on this forty-five-minute-long release have no trouble doing just that; without big gestures or grandiose vistas, all forty-five minutes seem to trickle into your brain, turn you on and set you free. Free to float along, free to let your awareness wander and free to dance like the free-spirited maniac you might be. More wild jams indeed!
