"Band's second of three(so far)CD's.I've always liked Pressurehed simply because of the way they successfully fuse industrial metal and space rock together.I've apparently met them before I even knew who they were,as they were Nik Turner and Del Dettmar's touring band on Turner's 1994-95 U.S. treks.Cuts that had me keeping this CD in my 'current rotation' stack for quite sometime were "Red Delta",their re-working of a Bob Calvert gem "The Right Stuff","Man In Static","Wet Engines"(check out the intro) and "Slo Blo" in which they'll often play during their live sets.Highly recommended.Should appeal to fans of Helios Creed,Anubian Lights,Monster Magnet,Deviants and possible even Acid Mothers Temple.Give this one a try.You won't regret it."

Space Rock/Industrial jam!

"This is the music that brings to mind a mining camp on some distant cluster of rocks in our asteroid belt. Pressurehed's beats are hard-hitting, keyboards are laser penetrating and gives off alot of heat that melts all the accumulated ice around it. Industrial sounding as if it is some sort of on-going machine with its navigators listening to favored music for space traveling cargo shuttles hauling some sort of mined nickel or cadmium ore. Imagine, if you will, those navigators listening to this music are descended from the spirit of route 66 truckers. Put your flight suit on, your sun-shielded goggles, magnetic boots and oxygen mask and buckle up for an interesting if not bumpy ride. 10-Four!!! over and out."

"Don't buy this one if you liked the song "Shockneck" from the Industrial Revolution compilation (2nd edition) because the other songs are completely different. However, they do have a unique, almost trance-like style that is very cool. Nice rhythms (i can't spell) and nice tripped out effects, but some of the songs sound like they were recorded in a very long metal room. But if you can tolerate this, you just might like it."
