Doctors of Space - Wisdom of Clowns

 Doctors of Space Music (DOS-008)

Doctors of Space have released a new, massive double CD since my previous review of their Adventures in the Deep Seas of Sound disc in September. Unlike last time, this albun was recorded all live in studio at once without overdubs. In addition to the standard duo of Dr Space (Hammond, Mellotron, analog, modular and digital synths) and Dr Weaver (guitar, drum programming) we also have the frequent Øresund Space Collective etc. collaborator Hasse Horrigmoe (Tangled Edge) on bass guitar which is always great and adds some more grooviness to the great sounding recordings.

The first CD has just two long trcaks. "Wisdom of Clowns" is very atmospheric and tranquil (no drums), while the closer to 40-minute-long "Needs of the One" sees the good doctors returning to space rocking realms in a very successful way. Great! Excellent guitar playing by Martin in there and Scott keeps things spacey and psychedelic all the way. The second disc starts off with the little dub-oriented "Mystic Challenger". "Ascari" is a beautiful, acoustic guitar-driven piece and "Dance Floor Hit (for Freaky Creatures)" a bit funky, sort of funny number that ends the album in a hypnotic and repetative way. The album has a great mix and mastering so sounds really good too! Get it while you can, only 100 copies made which seems to be the standard these days.
