Time Of Peace (Pt. 2)
This album has
an interesting mix bag of different things in it. Hard driving space rock sort
of song with Vacuum Cleaner and the spaced out rockin Alien Landscape or Space
Ride it's been called. One interesting thing about this record is the
contributors involved; ex Butthole Surfers bassist Jeff Pinkus contributes some
bass tracks, Rey Washam of Scratch Acid re-emerges (from Boxing The Clown) to
do some more drum work for Helios. I even heard that Jeff Pinkus contributed in
a long distance sort of way mailing Helios some of his contributions for this!
Sonic Boom is an awesome song, a flanged out acid punk space rocker, flying
through a time warp. Nothing's Wrong is a great song from back when it was
released as a single in 89', it's included here on this album. Lots of synth
work here too, with weird alien voices on Obducted - Leaving. Plenty of samples
here as well.
