Our Take

DAEVID ALLEN's 'Banana Moon' is a delightful cosmic journey through the whimsical and wacky mind of the former Soft Machine and Gong member. This album is like a psychedelic banana peel slipped on by a space cowboy in a parallel universe where the sun never sets. From the spaced-out vocals to the swirling synths and otherworldly effects, 'Banana Moon' captures the essence of 70s experimental rock with a modern twist.

Allen's eccentric and playful lyrics are a highlight, transporting listeners to a far-out dimension where anything is possible. Tracks like "Why Do We Treat Ourselves Like We Do?" and "Have You Seen My Friend?" showcase Allen's unique blend of social commentary and surreal storytelling. The infectious grooves and trippy soundscapes make this a must-listen for fans of the genre.

The production on 'Banana Moon' is top-notch, with layers of instruments and effects creating a lush sonic landscape that envelops the listener in a warm embrace. The dreamy atmospheres and mind-bending textures invite you to lose yourself in the music and embark on a mind-bending journey through the outer reaches of space.

Overall, DAEVID ALLEN's 'Banana Moon' is a stellar example of psychedelic rock done right. With its mix of whimsy, weirdness, and wizardry, this album is sure to delight and surprise even the most seasoned music connoisseurs. So sit back, relax, and let DAEVID ALLEN take you on a cosmic trip you won't soon forget.

About the artist

Daevid Allen

Cosmic jester, psychedelic pioneer, and all-around musical maestro, Daevid Allen is a name that evokes a sense of wonder and whimsy in the world of music. With his distinctive falsetto vocals, spacey guitar riffs, and mind-bending lyrics, Allen has been pushing the boundaries of experimental rock for over five decades. Born in Australia in 1938, Allen first made a name for himself as a founding member of the influential psychedelic rock band Soft Machine in the mid-1960s. Known for their intricate jazz-infused compositions and freewheeling improvisational style, Soft Machine quickly gained a cult following and paved the way for the progressive rock movement that would follow. After leaving Soft Machine in the late 1960s, Allen embarked on a solo career that would see him collaborate with a diverse range of artists, from Gong and Hawkwind to David Gilmour and Robert Wyatt. His solo work, characterized by its eccentric blend of space rock, jazz, and spoken word poetry, has earned him a reputation as one of the most innovative and otherworldly musicians of his generation. Despite his passing in 2015, Daevid Allen's musical legacy continues to inspire and intrigue fans around the globe. With his boundless creativity, irreverent sense of humour, and infectious joy for life, Allen remains a true original in the world of music. Raise a glass of cosmic brew to this cosmic troubadour, and let his music take you on a journey to the outer reaches of the sonic universe.
