6 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Psychedelic, ROCK: Progressive Rock
Details:
These spacerock-musicians from outer space are based in Gothenburg, Sweden. In the beginning the constellation landed on Earth in the year 2001 and after some reorganization the situation is stabilized as follows: Most of the time FBFOS consists of four members but lately guest musicians, for instance on djembe and organ, has participated. Drums and percussion is played by StarfighterCarl. Vocals and guitar is presented by JohanFromSpace who also plays digital/analogue synthesizer. SpaceAceFrippe perform bass sounds, digital/analogue synthesizers and backing vocals. MoonbeamJosué has recently acceded to this space orchestra on silver flute, pan flute, kena flute and other various flutes.
The cores of influences to the band come from the early 70''s. FBFOS has gained inspiration by bands like Hawkwind, Hard Stuff and Pink Floyd. The Swedish progg era, with ensembles like November, Kebenekajse and Träd Gräs och Stenar, can also be heard in the music. Since this later accumulation with flutes and djembe to the sound you can also hear progressions from South America, India and Africa.
The machinery of FBFOS is nicely lubricated and accurately rehearsed. The music is rock based, well arranged and groovy. The arrangements are mixed up with improvisation components so the musicians can articulate themselves and their musicality. The improvisations are relatively free and often framed within a specific key or rhythm. The band also experience free form divisions that sometimes flip out and sound really psychedelic. The tune "We''re Only in It for the Space Rock", on the album you''re listening to, is a free form ad-libbing where the key is the only structure.
Ever since the beginning FBFOS has been a hard-working band in the studio. Their first record "Further Magic"1 was completed in February 2003 and already in August, the same year, they released their next product "Aboard The Mothership of Cosmic Sound Creation"2. The album you''re listening to was recorded in the beginning of the year 2004 except for the last song which was produced in the fall of 20043. The album-covers by the reviews are no longer relevant. FBFOS has recently finished the recording of a new full length album called "Impressionable Sounds of The Subsonic". The mixing is planned to take place in August. It''s on this record you will hear ErkiOnMars playing the organ and SpaceBeardEmil battering djembe.
FBFOS is a band who likes to perform in front of an audience. They usually connect well with the people who always seem satisfied with the experience. In the concerts, FBFOS use motion pictures, a film produced in particular, which is projected in the background. They want to entertain the audience in every way they can. When lights, sound, music and space are assembled with FBFOS standards, the visitors get a complete spacerock-experience.
