COSMIC TRIP MACHINE (BE) Psychedelic / Experimental / Folk
Cosmic Trip Machine
Cosmic Trip Machine is a moving entity, constantly evolving, psychedelic, heavy, experimental and folk. <br><br> Beginning <br><br> February 2008, Cosmic Trip Machine, named in tribute to 60’s and 70’s records, started by recording one album, shortly after Will Z. and Majnun first group split (with angry quarrels and strong divergence in opinion). The two friends collected materials for an opus called Lord Space Devil, a never-completed project started in December 2000 (unreleased songs, instrumentals, experimental and conceptual ideas). Lord Space Devil <br><br> In studio, Cosmic Trip Machine discovered musical freedom and were addicted immediately. The result is Lord Space Devil, a psychedelic concept album with songs that release themselves of any constraints and explore differing sonic boundaries (odd instruments, studio effects, imaginative rock inspired by indian music and B-movies). <br><br> Few months later, Lord Space Devil was downloaded more than 2500 times from the official website, http://cosmictripmachine.be, by mere word of mouth and recommendations from websites and magazines. Cosmic Trip Machine worked on an electric live show melting instrumentals and new versions from Lord Space Devil songs. <br><br> Vampyros Roussos <br><br> In March 2009, Cosmic Trip Machine recorded Vampyros Roussos, an imaginary 70’s psychedelic erotic horror soundtrack and rock opera inspired by Vampyros Lesbos, Psych-Out, Beyond the Valley of Dolls, Suspiria, Carnival of Souls, The Holy Mountain and many more. The band played during Sloowjob Festival with Embryo and Peter Walker. <br><br> In June, a first extract from Vampyros Roussos, (Not) Very High, is compiled on Trip inside this house : Summer Solstice 2009, with psychedelic UK, sweden and USA bands. During summer, Cosmic Trip Machine played at psychedelic Yellowstock festival in Geel, 40 years after Woodstock. The 18th September, a Vampyros Roussos tape collector version (70 copies) is out on Sloowtapes label, distributed in many countries and sold out in two weeks. The 26th November, a CD version is distributed by Record Heaven and Clearspot. <br><br>
