Distance is a massive piece of music integrating the more mellow sonic expeditions of Pink Floyd with the sudden intrepid swoops into musical peaks and valleys preferred by cotemporaries and label-mates, Colour Haze. This is all this captured in a pristine production job that captures the intermingling fury and gentle roll of a shifting universe that alternately recalls Sun Ra with a Thom Yorke commercial appeal.

I don’t know for which sun Ahkmed has set it’s coordinates, but I have to admit, the second day post surgery to patch up my rotator cuff I put on “Distance” and I must say (without encouraging it’s use outside of it’s FDA-mandated indication) that Distance goes exceedingly well with 10mg of OxyContin. John-Paul Caligiuri’s Spartan, fluid jazz drumming coupled with guitarist Carlo Iacovino alternating juxtapositions between the unfettered power of launch and the shimmering beauty of orbit would normally be a lot to take in, but spread over the course of 8 or nine minutes per song, the disparities in texture and mood within each song get easier to digest.

Another bold release from Elektrohasch, really the label to watch in terms of brave and disparate releases that come from the same Mother Ship – heavy psychedelic music.
