Macha is not quite consistent but it is consistently driving, expressive, and spiritually stimulating, even if it is not explicitly spiritually directed.

Thus augmented ... Macha begin to blaze a trail that, if not actually new, is distinctively theirs.

It's a decent idea with potential greatness possible, but their production needs help and there needs to be an infusion of something that evasive spirit that much music lacks.

Well this here is something different from the good old '90s, a load of different styles attempted and I guess overall 'maximal' and groovy (even a little Krautrock'y?) in its presentation of ideas.

Maybe it'll reveal itself to be a total mess down the line - but today, sitting HERE in THIS seat, and on a first listen with the doors OPEN...I feel refreshed.
