The best Other Window post. ever

Other Window recorded two wonderful albums of spacey-psych rock in the mid 2000's, thye npretty much sank without a trace I think, but I find them quite trippy and weird, perfect for when one is in the "correct state of mind" if you get my drift. The first self-titled LP is the better of the two, with the very cool lead-off track "Beyond Science Fiction" which goes on for some 16 or so minutes.....MOST of the tracks on the album  are 8-9 minutes or more, this is like an updated version of Hawkwind/Pink Floyd maybe......


They followed it up in 2006 with "Transition", actually quite a similar effort to the debut, long, swirling, songs with lots of improvised portions, maybe a bit more rocking than the debut, but SPACEY shit that NEVER roams very far from it's home base......I enjoy both of these albums a good bit, not for everyone, but I think this was a really good band, please give them a listen.....they consisted of bassist/vocalist Alan North, Keyboardist Sarah South, guitarist/vocalist Ian Arkley, and drummer Jed Grifftihs and were the wrong band at the wrong time, I think, but produced two VERY good albums of seriously spaced out psych-rock.....give these a try I recommend them quite highly.


SELF TITLED-0101 Beyond Science Fiction/02 A Different View/03 Time Is an Ocean/04 Persecution/05 Nebula/06 The Illusion of Wisdom

TRANSITION-01 Transition/02 Time Thieves/03 Asteroid/04 Black Hole/05 Final Warning-Conspiracy/.06 Transcendence

Please let me know what you think of these albums.....I like them quite a bit and they are not really well known......sort of 1970's psych-space rock updated for the 2000's, I think it is some very cool stuff.....leave a comment and let me know if you sahre my views?
