SPACE DEBRIS - MOUNTAIN ULTIMATE (2017/2025) (Bandcamp LP/CD/DL)

Go to the Space Debris Bandcamp page and you will find a revival of the music of Space Debris, a blast from the past in fact. I know because I have the album spinning on my turntable as I type. Here’s what I said about it in 2017.

In my review for ACID DRAGON, I praised the title track, the usual stylistic ingredients: JIMI HENDRIX, question and answer (something close to the way jazz musicians work), the tight rhythmic section, open to being expansive when the muse calls and the colourful palette of organ sounds and refined technique, recognising the importance of holding onto a note and when to go on a run. KEITH EMERSON, my own biggest organ hero was the highest accolade I could think of. Winnie Rimbach-Sator, after giving thanks for the compliment, expressed what I was trying to say more eloquently: “Less is more and sometimes more is more. And everything is nothing and the other way round. And if you can say what you want to say with a single note or no note at all, then you’re there!” The rest of the band is Christian Jäger on drums, Tommy Gorny on guitar and Vroni Frisch on bass.

I seem to remember being particularly impressed by the side long title track (I said that already!) and the second longest number ‘Interstellar Rex’. I particularly recommend Space Debris’ ‘best of’ on Bandcamp. Although Christian had sent me all of their albums (on vinyl- vielen dank!)) I still had to have this one! If unacquainted please check them out. The music is all instrumental by the way.
