This is one of the best psychedelic rock songs I've ever heard

Its like they googled the rigs of all the very best classic rock artists

[@sebas03ism]

Desmond, Pink Floyd and a little bit of sabbath.

[@ziptink1710]

Saw them in Sydney a couple times maybe 7 years ago or so now. Great!

[@oksimoronko]

reminds me of "take five"!

[@michaelphillips9007]

Because it's a 1 - 4 groove with minor sevenths in 5/4.

[@jzac77]

Also blind faith - do what you like

[@kingdo22]

Not just 5/4 time but has the same feel of 1andand345

[@daveski7]

@@kingdo22 That makes no sense lol. the first part is 4/4 then changes to 5/4 then to 6/8 and back to 5/4

Man I want to hear more of that outro, sounded awesome.

I too, discovered Kikagaku Moyo through the almighty Earthless. What a show that was. This track reminds me of the Allman Brothers. In a really good way.

[@aditrock6715]

What song by Allman Brothers anyway?

[@omarcapaso7156]

@@aditrock6715 i guess how some of the all mans songs are pretty jamy, a lot of improv kind of thing. It also reminds me of the dead in that aspect where they just jam for long periods of times

[@sethmoore8484]

@@aditrock6715 "whippin post" and "done sombody wrong" from At Filmore East are similar jams to this by the Allman Brothers. The whole album is a really good document of their live sound.

During the 5/4 part of this song, the beat is pretty much the same as the one in Take Five by Dave Brubeck.

[@gmoner]

cause it’s one of the best 5/4 grooves used in many songs

[@sashoradoulov3504]

@@gmoner You know any others that use it?

[@gmoner]

@@sashoradoulov3504 i guess i was exaggerating by saying “many” songs, cause there aren’t too many popular songs in 5/4, but this groove of having the emphasis on the & of one, three, then having the 4 and 5 be like their own measure of 2/4 is the best way to approach 5/4 in my opinion. I like writing music in 5/4 personally so i use this same groove a lot as well, here’s another example also: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXvcgaemocmVbZo. David bennett has a good video about songs in 5/4 as well.

bass line sounds similar too
