Залит CausaSui/(2016)_Return_ToSky

Этот год мы начнём со спейс-рока.
Встречайте - датская психоделик/спейс/прогрессив-рок-команда "Причина".
Группа образована в 2004-м году. Как и большинство спейс-роковых коллективов, она не имеет постоянного состава, есть только ядро из 3-х музыкантов и некоторое количество джемующих гостей. Соответственно меняется и характер музыки, которую она играет.
На данном диске всё построено вокруг тяжелой, мощной, почти сладжевой ритм-секции. Барабаны и бас задают тон и стиль практически всем вещам. Вокала нет.
Если вам, как мне, нравится сладж/стонер/тяжелый спейс, то эта команда для вас.
Рекомендую!

In the late summer of 2004, CAUSA SUI were formed with four players, each of whom had gained his enough experience in his own hardcore metal band. With cringing at Danish pop music scene in those days, they all groped for playing progressive and experimental music, and conclusively found they should play heavy psychedelic and stoner rock they had never lost the desire to make their style with.

CAUSA SUI, getting started as a four-piece band, produced their eponymous debut album through the summer of 2005 with 100 demo tracks and Nasomi Records gave the green light for releasing it in December of the same year. Their musical style is influenced by not only psychedelic rock or Krautrock, but also 60s rock, blues, or 70s heavy metal, etc. etc.

After releasing their second album 'Free Ride' for various reasons CAUSA SUI got to be a trio consisting of Jakob Skott (drums and percussion), Jess Kahr (bass) and Jonas Munk (guitars, keyboards, electronics and vocals) - in spite of the musicians decreased, CAUSA SUI now can keep their motivation and activity with giving some gigs and releasing some session albums.

Return To Sky
Causa Sui
Psychedelic/Space Rock, 2016
(c) Review by restless_slacker, PA

I've been following this band for a few years (since their Summer Sessions), and each subsequent release gets better and better. Causa Sui's music is a jammy kind of space-rock that owes equal debt to Grateful Dead's Dark Star and Pink Floyd's Echoes. Songs on the aforementioned Summer Sessions recording were unafraid to stretch out to 20 minutes or more. Нere, on Return to Sky, the main thing that strikes the listener is how condensed the music has become. The entire album is a mere forty-five minutes which fits very comfortably on a single LP. It consists of 5 tracks each averaging about 9 minutes. This pattern of slimming down is carried on throughout the tunes themselves, as each song is a tightly constructed journey. Нowever, the path is far from linear as each song travels through a number of different soundscapes from Нawkwindish hard riffing to jazz-inflected float-y soundscapes reminiscent of Jimi Нendrix's spaced out passages on 1983/Moon Turn the Tides. All of which Causa Sui had previously demonstrated their capability at doing on previous releases. On Return to Sky, however, all of the band's qualities get distilled into a powerful offering with little in the way of fat. I'd highly recommend this release for fans of Spacerock.
