RETURN OF THE PANGALACTIC GARGLE BLASTERS: Tribe Of Cro album to down load for FREE!!

Many moons ago we were sent a copy of ‘Sporadic Spirogyra’ by Tribe Of Cro, completely out of the blue, for review in the peppermint Iguana Zine. We were blown away by it but knew very little about the band. We did manage to track down another CD, ‘Hydrocultrue’, and kept an eye out for them but never managed to catch them live, eventually we stopped hearing the name..... until...

Last night, while surfing the net, we found them again! Now we are not sure if they split up, had a hiatus or just kept hiding from us, but there does seem to be a return to the live circuit on the cards and possibly a new album.

However, the reason for this post is to send you in the direction of their website, where you can download for free a copy of ‘Virtual Vinyl’ a CD recorded live at the BBC Maida Vale Studios.

This is spaced out psychedelic freeform techno rock at its very best, like the Ozrics but heavier, full on sonic attack with hints of Hawkwind, but more up to date. Flying through loopholes in the rock time continuum visiting the rave galaxy, the metal planet, the dub space, the punk rock underworld and the psychedelic hyperspace.

Now we hate to compare bands cos it is lazy, but it is very Ozric like. Now the Ozrics have been in our top five all time favourite bands for a good many years, so we do not say this lightly… after a few listenings this morning, we think this might be even better than the Ozrics. There we are, said it now. High praise indeed from us.

This album does not stick to any particular blueprint, constantly varying the plan taking you up and down and around like a space shuttle navigating an asteroid storm. And the whole album is available to download for free! Bargain of the century… and safer than drugs! YOU MUST HAVE THIS
