My Amazon Reviews: Didges Christ Superdrum "Alien Technology"


This ain't your daddy's Extra Terrestrial Intelligence.
4 Out Of 5 Stars


Didges Christ Superdrum are unlike anything else you're likely to hear this year. Their second album, "Alien Technology" ain't your daddy's Extra Terrestrial Intelligence. A pair of Goth looking prog rockers in Shaman's masks, a couple of added pick-up percussionists, then set to music that features a didgeridoo as the primary instrument. The lyrics sound like they were lifted from a Ministry album and the drums off some tribal drum circle. This CD is thick with some wicked mojo.

"Alien Technology" is space rock for those who aspire to a walkabout in the outback and need a soundtrack. It's the disco you need for dancing naked on the beach by firelight when ET decides to give you a probe. It's the bridge between Michael Oldfield and Hawkwind. If you play it as the soundtrack to The Wizard of Oz, you'll go forward in time. And I love it.
