Oracles by Zaum


https://songwhip.com/zaum/oracles





"Perhaps the most striking thing about "Oracles" is the total absence of guitars. That's right; no power chords, no riffing, no distorted passages of any kind and while there have been plenty of bands to discard axe-slinging before (hello PALEHORSE), ZAUM's biggest curveball is using a sitar instead. This results in a distinct, Middle-Eastern atmosphere right from the very first note and at times it's so evocative, you can practically feel the sand blowing in swirls round your feet.

Despite only having four tracks, "Oracles" is a long, shroomed out journey through a psychedelic wasteland and it's very easy to lose an entire day listening to it on repeat. The slow, apocalyptic grind of "Zealot" must be what being trapped in a car with Hunter S. Thompson in the shadow of the pyramids feels like and "The Peasant Of Parthia" is a turbulent, bass-heavy jaunt through a Hari Krishna's nightmares.

In fact it's the bass that really brings this whole album together ..." ( Text By Tim Bolitho-Jones )

On CD 2 you get Classical Version, so no metal. Changed to my new VE SM Gold earbud for this.

Qobuz >> roon >> SMSL SU9 >> Violectric HPA V222 >> Senheiser HD800S

The great Divide (2014) by Enchant - A new American neo-prog-rock band for me, found while on a roon safari, they are Ted Leonard's band from before he became vocalist for Spock's Beard. Sound wise they are not a million miles from post Neal Morse Spock's Beard, though that may have a lot to do with Leonard's voice, which is quite distinctive. I've listened to a few of their albums tonight and they are all very good and well worth a listen, this album is their most recent and as they are on long term hiatus it might be a while before another one turns up. Sounds really good through the V222 and HD800S, plenty of detail and plenty of depth with a nice, crisp low end.
