Review: Group 1850, Paradise Now
OK, this one really is late '60s European psychedelia--Dutch, to be specific, vintage 1969.
This was recommended to me by my friend, Cozy Home Rob. He said it's really good, and I believed him, and he was right.
Who do they sound like? They sound like their time. They also sound new, though. They actually sound a bit like what I was expecting The First Band From Outer Space to sound like (before I heard their album, and found out they were a 21st Century band). Or maybe another way to say that is, if The First Band From Outer Space really were from the '60s, they'd sound pretty much like Group 1850.
The current bands that I think of when I listen to this are the Japanese band Ghost, and the (Norwegian?) band Dungen. I'm sure i could think of other bands to compare them to, since they don't do anything terribly unique. But they don't obviously steal from anyone in particular, either. They're just really good psychedelic-progressive-space-rock.
Thumbs up. I'll definitely want to listen to this again and again.
