OULU SPACE JAM COLLECTIVE - Umm Srrpt Psst

This is the perfect companion to the Deep Space Destructors album up today as it features all three members of the band, with forces joined by 4 others (see 'facts' below). Finland's space rock answer to the Wu-Tang Clan have kept themselves busy since their debut in August 2013, this release is eight parts of improvised music split into two tracks which tower near or over the 50 minute mark! Now, I've only just begun to dissect this thing, but I've been an avowed believer in this cult's teachings since I first saw a video of the group performing a live outdoor jam (see bio below). As I move past the halfway point through parts I-IV I'm impressed with how the Collective is able to whip the piece into an absolute frenzy from very humble beginnings then gear it all the way back down again. This release has basically given me exactly what I expect which is some windy jams that put the space back into space rock. So nearly two hours worth of kraut-y, psych-y, space-y jams here and the best part is YOU-GET-TO-NAME-YOUR-OWN-PRICE.

JUST THE MUSIC:

DEEP SPACE DESTRUCTORS - III

Cover artwork by Ilkka Vuojala
It happened some time back (in summer), but just because it isn't "new" news, doesn't mean it's not news worthy. Deep Space Destructors, arguably the strongest space rock outfit on this and at least two other planets released their third album, fittingly enough titled 'III'. The album picks up their increasingly familiar sound and expands greatly upon it. This is hallucinogenic music, prog, krautrock and space rock at its finest, not for those prone to bad acid trips. Consider this album HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Bio
Deep Space Destructors was founded in the beginning of the Earth year 2011 in Oulu, Finland, on band members’ mutual love for 60’s and 70’s hard, prog and psychedelic rock. The band added influences from stoner and doom genres, resulting into collision of musical galaxies to be described as psychedelic space rock from Earth.

A year later, the first small step (one giant leap for mankind) was taken out from the Rehearsal Vortex and “I” was released to the unaware public. In the last quarter cycle of 2012, DSD started performing live and released “II”.

During 2013, DSD met with wizard Olli Niemitalo who had invented and assembled, Black Deck, an optoelectronic instrument out of a broken vinyl player and scrap electronics. Together with a mutual friend, DSD and Olli founded instrumental space rock jam band Oulu Space Jam Collective which performed at Oulu Night of the Arts
in August. The collaboration continued in 2014 as Black Deck joined forces with DSD on “III” recordings and a couple gigs in Oulu.

“III” can be described as an unintentional theme album from the band’s collective subconscious and the most spaced out creation so far. Deep Space Destructors' journey continues towards deeper space and sounds.

"III" tracklist:

1) Beyond the Black Star
2) Spaceship Earth
3) Cosmic Burial
4) An Ode to Indifferent Universe
5) Ikuinen Alku
