Space Debris- Into the Sun- Live at the Berg Herzberg
Festival 2006
(Herzberg Verlag)
From Aural Innovations #38 (Jan 2008)
Space Debris plays mostly improvised music and the DVD begins with shots cruising thru the festival site and coming back and forth to the stage where the band is playing but never really showing the band until 17 mins into the DVD. You get to see a good overview of the type of cool people who come to this festival and hear some great kraut rock jamming as well. Electric Friends is a long jam with Tomas switches from guitar to bass and a real freeform krautrock jam is made. Mountain is a heavy rocking number with some great Hendrix inspired guitar, pounding drums and heavy Hammond. Whales’ starts with a long Hammond solo and I really thought he was going to play the intro to Lazy by Deep Purple but he never did. This track is really a back and forth jam with Hammond and guitar trading off before Tomas does a great melodic solo at the end. Jam Bang is another quite intense hard rocking jam. This is really well filmed and a great sound and really brings the feel of those great German early 70’s bands just jamming away with no regard for trends..music from the heart. Cool stuff.
