The Review:

Oresund Space Collective returns with a new album in 2007, their third, called The Black Tomato. Following their previous releases, self titled debut and the double album, It’s All About Delay, they continue their own brand of modern instrumental space rock. This time it’s two epics RumBle (almost 40 minutes) and The Black Tomato (over 30 minutes). The down side to these epics, to me at least is they‘re broken up into sections. Finishing up with Viking Cleaner is shorter but still contains the stuff OSC is known for. It’s a perfect ending to this space epic.

Just like the previous two releases, I think the album as a whole is the highlight and should be experienced on headphones to truly hear all the sounds. It also a musical journey that contains new experiences each time you listen. This is for fans of Hawkwind, Ozric Tentacles and similar bands.
