This has got to be the most perfect, incredible piece of psychedelic/stoner doom rock I have ever heard, and I do mean ROCK! From the opening track 'Magnetise' to the 10 minute plus beautiful epic 'Mantra' this is a very diverse and ear catching piece of work. I couldn't begin to rave enough about all the fine points of this CD. 'Sunshine In Purple' is probably my favorite track on here, injecting a semi slow vibe, never as slow as say Sleep or Electric Wizard, but the singer injects some amazing feeling into this punishing masterpiece, and when I say punishing I mean in a mellow way. This is a materpiece of a stoner's platter, even better than their first release 'Allisone,' which now that I look back on I think maybe I should have rated lower. Check out 'Reaching Out,' which shows them at a bit of a faster pace and a monster riff section that reminds me of the greatest of Kyuss' rocking tunes like 'Green Machine.' The 10 minute plus epic 'Mantra' is so beautiful you won't mind the length of the track, especially when you hear the flutes and spacey sounds floating through this one. The mellow vibes run throughout 'Voyage' as well, and even though some of the lyrics deal with 60's era peace and love type topics, you can't help but just be blown away by the overall extreme heaviness of it all.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Awesome post! I consider myself a HUGE stoner/space/psych fan, and somehow I missed this one. It RAWKS! I enjoy these more modern posts, but I am also extremely grasteful for some of the older stuff you have put up. Overall, you've turned me on to a shitload of great tunes. Thanks for the blog!
This album is a great find - i cant say enough about Orexis, this is my favorite and first place i visit almost every day.
keep the binary vinyl spinning!
You know, this is what I always thought "stoner rock" should sound like. Not the sludgy, tuneless, postmetal junk most of those bands play. This is just great. Thanks!
Great album! Thank you for show it to the world!
I am friends with Craig Williamson and he has started a new band in New Zealand called Arc of Ascent. I have watched them live many times in the last year while I was living over there and they are releasing a debut album early 2010: http://www.myspace.com/arcofascent
