SENDELICA
Fruits de Mer 13
Featuring
When Andy and I first heard 'Venus in Furs' by the band, we just knew this had to be the A-side of a Fruits de Mer single, and we're SO pleased the band agreed to release it on our label. If you know the track and you've never wanted to "taste the whip" before, you will when you hear this version - a truly mesmmorising female lead vocal. 'Maggot Brain' is a completely different kettle of fishbait - recorded for the soundtrack of a film (there'll be great video to accompany the single, taken from the film itself), Sendelica's take on the Funkadelic classic will show just how much atmosphere you can cram onto one side of a 7" single in an instrumental.
Yet again, we'll be limiting the pressing to a few hundred copies - as always, on colour vinyl - just $8 - we're hoping to release it some time in October - we'd advise you get in early and reserve a copy, we reckon this will sell FAST!
The cornerstone of “Streamedelica” is the 25-minute “Day of the Locust” a titanic-wig out of jaw dropping, or should that be brain melting intensity stretching out over 25 minutes. I would defy even Acid Mothers Temple to come up with anything more full-on. Imagine a chamber orchestra of goblins tuning up at twilight in your local wood and you’re about there.

This is where space rock turns into outer space rock……a fully fledged frenzy of psychedelic rocking……shifting between jamming prog solos and high voltage noise riffage that really takes it out there. MONOCHROME MAY 2010

some of the best psychedelia I have heard in a long time the album’s magnum opus Day Of The Locust, a twenty-five minute monster that may start out rather well behaved but soon finds its way into no-holds-barred guitar driven psyche rock as if Hawkwind were jamming with Black Sabbath. Great stuff! Psychedelic rock fans and those who curious about out-of-this-world sonic exploration should definitely get their hands on this fine piece of music. DISAGREEMENT MAY 2010

Sendelica make music for your senses, best listened to at high volume, alone in a room, or in the field, eyes closed and dreaming. Dreams about future and past. if you are very much into improvisation or psychedelia then Sendelica is an absolute must DPRP MAY 2010

" Streamedelica , She Sighed As She Hit Rewind On The Dream Missing Remote "is Sendelicas best and most mature work. The album is definitely an essential slice of psychedelic music, and has so many qualities that it is a feast for the ears. hypnotic , engaging and fascinating MERLINS PROG JUNE 2010

…..a Floydian workout that slowly builds into a screaming wall of psychedelic noise, ending this rather magnificent album in style. …..freewheeling music spiralling to the stars with twinkling ease This is definitely the finest thing the band have released, imaginative, crisp, free flowing and with a warm production, I heartily recommend it to all lovers of space/psychedelic rock music.
(Simon Lewis) Ptolmaic Terrascope UK 2009
…a fabulous collection of seven face melting jams that is absolutely compelling from beginning to end, as they shift gears from heavy all out guitar oriented jams to spacey, introspective, ambient passages, with relative ease. Take an hour for yourself and plug yourself directly into this masterpiece immediately. We're only at the halfway point of the year but Sendelica have definitely delivered a serious top ten contender for this writer's 'best of 2009' list. (Ryan Sparks) Sea of Tranquility USA 2009 Often excitingly fee-form, witness the deliberately ragged conglomeration of' ' Humans Gathered Together In a cave Grooving Like Picts', they're also as tight as hell when they need to be. From the basic rythmn comes the extended groove, It's Sendelicas ability to interpret and elaborate on that groove that marks them out.
(Ian Abrahams) R2 (Rock n Reel) July/August 2009
Sendelica stand out from the crowd because they play instrumental stoner rock without getting boring. Which in itself is a feat of epic notoriety. I start to think about Black Sabbath and John Coltrane, because there is some of both in Sendelica.
Monochrome 2009
…you might get the impression that Sendelica are into classical psyche rock, but the track Manhole Of The Universe displays for twelve whole minutes that improvisation is still the main force behind their music. Inspired by very early Pink Floyd and Hawkwind, the band conjures a freewheeling psychedelic sound
Disagreement Europe 2009
I thought I had a pretty good idea of what Sendelica are all about, that is until they totally blow your mind with the absolute guitar tour de force on "Indrid Cold". Check out the crazy solo's Bingham tosses out on this twelve minute epic, not to mention Pescado's thick and rubbery bass lines and the busy work of Fields behind the kit. …another magical release and certainly one worthy of your attention, from the folks over at the Russian label R.A.I.G.
(Ryan Sparks) SEA OF TRANQUILITY, USA 2007
"Indrid Cold", twelve minutes of guitar heaven, Pete Bingham laying the universe to waste as he romps across the fretboard, a solid and inspired rhythm section providing a perfect platform for the sonic wizardry that soars overhead. Here everything comes together, the song demonstrating everything that is good about the band, playful, spacey and able to rock out with the best of them..
(Simon Lewis) PTOLEMAIC TERRASCOPE UK 2007
The group's arsenal of sound is quite impressive: the hypnotic pulse of Can, the impressionistic atmospherics of Pink Floyd, the motorized proto-punk of Neu, the space patrolling guitar pyrotechnics of Hendrix and the otherworldly ambiences of The Orb. All of this and more pervades virtually every track on Spaceman Bubblegum.
(Charles Van de Kree) AURAL INNOVATIONS USA 2008
Welsh band signed to a Russian label, is that a first? We're talking well played, well produced imaginative instrumental guitar based psych/space rock with a healthy retro blues/prog rock flavour. Recommended
ORGAN MAGAZINE, LONDON, UK 2007
a guitar driven sound-scape that instantly transports you to a world of swirling colures and non stop freaky dancing that only girls in mini skirt can undertake. The entire experience is one of boho living with multi coloured bean bags all filled with Charley Croker's bevy of international beauties just waiting for a corrupting influence to come along.
(Aled Jones) GLASSWERK, UK 2007
Pink Floyd. The Orb. Spaceman 3, Hawkwind. Neu, Tangerine Dream ... Just a few of our favorite space rock bands. We've got another to add to the list and that would be the Welsh group Sendelica….. full-blown psychedelic soundscapes, and a little dub tossed in to boot. A very pleasant and stimulating head trip.

Fruits de Mer's first record of autumn 2010 will be a 7" single by that fine Welsh band SENDELICA, featuring two superb and very distinctive tracks that make this a single you will definitely want to add to your vinyl collection, whether you're a fan of Sendelica, the Velvet Underground, Funkadelic or Fruits de Mer releases in general (fdm'ers - you won't be disappointed!)
