Reviews Turned Skyward #3

With thanks to Paul at Honest Music For Dishonest Times for the words.

[extract]
"By the looks of the strong design of its sleeve, this disc could be an examination of all those sci-fi, weird (or wyrd) 1970s schools programmes on tv, or their soundtracks, and indeed the first track Remote Viewing is built around a recording of a man talking about déja vous in the kind of officious home-counties accent that tallies with my own recollection of Schools & Colleges programming of that time.  Those expecting a Ghost Box–style, hauntological, period pop will be disappointed though; the music on Eyes Turned Skyward is actually contemporary-sounding drone ambient.  As always, the production is clear and glassy, like peering at the reflection of misty landscapes through the panes of an open window at dawn."

Reviews Turned Skyward #2

Many thanks to Simon Tucker at Louder Than War for the very nice review of 'Eyes Turned Skyward' - here.

'With this album, The British Space Group, have created something that is a must-buy for those into the more thought provoking side of music. It manages to bridge the gap between 70’s sci-fi soundtracks and modern ambient/drone. It’s an album that plays like a short movie with each component vital to the story. It’s an album that must be listened to from beginning to end as each song represents a chapter in this most enjoyable story.'

Wyrd Daze

The latest issue of the Wyrd Daze zine comes complete with a podcast featuring The British Space Group's 'Haze of Summer' alongside other wonderful folks such as Kemper Norton, The Advisory Circle, Hacker Farm and the late lamented Daevid Allen.

The inspiration for the front cover of 'Eyes Turned Skyward'.

Simple, elegant, eye catching and utterly beautiful.

A huge thanks to Grey Malkin of The Hare and the Moon for his lovely words regarding 'Eyes Turned Skywards' over on The Active Listener.

'I cannot recommend this album highly enough. For fans of electronica, hauntology, soundtracks, minimalism and experiential music; there is something here that will touch something in all of you. Watch the skies, listen ...and wait.'
