SpaceZine A brilliant piece of ART. I love this album think together with Zodiac and others this album is one of the best I have ever heard :)

Reviewed in SpaceZine issue#2, May, 2021

wbaveganstoner Very reminiscent of 'In Search' period Hawkwind, which is no bad thing! Has a bit of a Spacemen 3 groove going down too.

Favorite track: Ascent to Godhead Part 1.

weall One of the best albums of the year in the independent sphere. It contains many good ideas and the overall atmosphere is transcendent and mastered. Surely the most experimental release of the band! Nevertheless, I do not recommend it to strangers of the psychedelic or independent genre, and I think it will go through the old album to appreciate it well. Looking forward to seeing the new direction the group offers us for 2018 ! Favorite track: Can you levitate?.

Hyper-Trax A future classic. Jam packed with all the things that make ears worth wearing ! Don't sleep on this gem.

about

Fleetwood psychonauts return with their second album of 2017. Whereas ‘Zen B*****d’ was a re- imagining of ancient songs from the back catalogue, ‘Ascent to Godhead’ consists of brand new compositions improvised in the studio. No Hawkwind-esque generators are to be found which are synonymous with the space rock genre.

Instead we have a calamitous howl more reminiscent to the Birthday Party than to Gong. Earthling Society’s unique song writing abilities remain however; where no song starts and ends the same, constantly morphing into something new. Jazz and eastern rhythms are at the forefront of ‘Ascent to Godhead’. Taking inspiration from Alice Coltrane, Sun Ra, Far East Family band, Tidori Takada amongst others.

This is no hippy claptrap from the sunshine playroom, it’s an album that ties your brain in knots, and oozes spiritual meaning.

Also included is the long lost garage rocker ‘Can You Levitate?’ Recorded in 2009 and only unearthed earlier this year. Proving that earthling Society were belting this stuff out long before the current psych scene with it Elevators’ call to arms and Butthole Surfers splashdown.
