Litmus - You Are Here

Space rock from London, UK, England... What you can expect is a full assault on your senses as Litmus pound, scream, bleep, crash and grind their milkyway into your stereo. Mixing sounds of Mr Quimbys Beard, ST 37, Omnia Opera and the whole Hawkwind-catologue into their own blend of space rock.

The culmination of stunning and extremely powerful grinding guitar, drum attacks travelling at enormous speed, pulsing bass, synths mayhem and universal vocals, which hail from the depths of a Dave Brock & Co-soul, bring the true sound of spacerock again to the forefront. From the opening of "Infinity drive" through "(Theta wave) inductor" to the finale of the 21-minute "Stone oscillator (static ritual)" with Spine of god-grooving you'll be hooked on the sound of nearly an hour You are here.

Litmus have created a true space rock CD and playing live shows with Hawkwind, Ozric Tentacles and The Crazy World of Arthur Brown and a bunch of other aliens I guess it’s better don't miss your chance to hear them live if you are in an area lucky enough to host them. A trip of aural sensations from start to finish. Don't miss out!

88/100
