ARCHIPELAGOG review from Progressive Newsletter Nr.74
" Yurt have changed the main coordinates of their art of space rock with space Rock based mostly exclusively on a driving rythym. Simply it grasps a huge slice of bulky, crashing Prog Rock with a clear hard rock attitude, which the chirping Electronics deploy a perfectly balanced accomponying effect and through everything still breathes the ancient spirit of the seventies.
Of course one could also phrase it a bit more unglossed: respectfully this group of Irelanders could just not want to decide vehemently for a particular style and wish cheerfully to defer their rules in different directions. Or one could paraphrase from the band themselves: 'Experiments in the broad field of progressive music'. Still, whichever way their wind is mainly blowing it's clear: above all the lush booming guitar riffs, the expressive minimal vocals are perhaps reminiscant of an early Hawkwind.
Archipelagog is completely retro, but nevertheless more than this could be learned from these Roll Models who provide their own Charm. The hypnotic power of simplicity functions perfectly, which can be heard in these long drawn out endless jams. By the way the album is available to download for free directly from their band website.
