Il trio heavy psych/stoner tedesco Samsara Blues Experiment ha annunciato la release del nuovo album One With The Universe, che vedrà la luce il 12 maggio per Electric Magic Records. Il primo brano estratto è una jam dal titolo “Vipassana”, ascoltabile in streaming su The Obelisk. Così il chitarrista/cantante Christian Peters ha commentato il brano:
“It is the first song we did after Richard had left the band. It came out from a series of jam sessions. The song topic seems to be about growing up, or maybe growing up responsibly. Kind of a coming of age thing, wrapped in heavy riffs and Pink Floydish-psychedelia, plus some kind of Indian raga theme. It’s pretty much what one can consider as ‘classic SBE’-material already, I think. It may be interesting to know that Richard, who did not play any instruments, but again recorded the album, also contributed some nice ideas in the process, like having me play the backward solo or putting in some vintage tape-effects. we are all very happy with the outcome of this song in particular and hope you will enjoy. there is much more on the album.”
