French space rockers careen throughout the galaxy, chronicling their drug-fueled misadventures on this double LP as stars explode around them. They pass by some familiar planets, ones previously settled by explorers like Earthless, Neu!, Kyuss, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Sonny Sharrock. It doesn’t matter if some of the individual sites have been seen before; the pleasure lies in the journey, and their meandering quest through the cosmos puts everything into their own unique narrative. Their previous albums feel like training in comparison. Here, Slift achieves lift-off.
