Men from S.P.E.C.T.R.E - The Living Eye (2006)

Forty year ago something was really happening… maybe Woodstock happens until now. Who knows?!

Here comes something that gets this point. Poorly known but good music.

The Switzerland band Men From S.P.E.C.T.R.E. combines the best psychedelic groove with the funkiest 60’s spy-fi and the swingingest library music. The rough edges and instrumental action sound echoes the space-rock-bands and soundtracks of the 70s. The catchy beat of Drums, Congas and Bass join the wild Hammond organ and fuzzy Guitar to mash-up the scenes. Threir influences cover Soundtracks, Hippies, 60s Beat, Mods, Rockers, Mockers, Library Music, Pill-Parties, 70s Rock music.

"The Living Eye" is the third record of the S.P.E.C.T.R.E.’s released on American label Hammondbeat Records. It is more indulgent, more psychedelic, and hits the beat harder than the previous records. Rather than trying to recreate the 60's mod sound, the men are now incorporating a more modern vision while staying true to the roots of the movement they further. Their songs are layered with multiple levels of sound, impeccable timing with sound effects that work with the music and don't stand out as cheap sonics, and the rhythms are both groovy and psychedelic at the same time. This album has good flow while each song is very polished and fluid in it's own right. No dead spots.

Funky hammond grooves, space and psychedelic 60`s to 70`s rock, spy movie themes summed with FX sounds and hard beating drum breaks!
