101 Strings - Astro-Sounds From Beyond The Year 2000
101 Strings – all of them G
One listen to Astro-Sounds and you won’t be surprised to learn that the orchestra comprising 101 Strings often found employment scoring soundtracks for pornos or recording period kitsch Beatles covers. Chuck in some contemporary 60s sexploitation space flick visuals (you know the Nude On The Moon, Barbarella, Space Sex In Sexxxy Space drill) and you’ve got this ménage à trois of sitar-guitar-and- string-driven grubbiness that promises “the far out sounds of tomorrow’s unchartered trip beyond the now generation”.
When the likes of A Disappointed Love With A Desensitized Robot appropriates Gimme Some Lovin’ with a fuzzed-up jangle, you know you’re in fairly safe hands. Re-Entry Into Mog (That’s How It Is) is slinky moonbeam slips and slides for any circular bed below a mirrored ceiling, while the astro-sounds climax with the Karma Sitar/ Whiplash/Instant Nirvana three-way, moving from Eastern hip sways to bondage orgasmatrons.
Though a period piece that won’t set your world alight, anyone with fire down below and a taste for silver catsuits will slip into something comfortable with this playing in the background.
Righteous Psalm | 23:8
