Album Description
Upon hearing The Alchemysts at last years Terrastock III in London, Rubric's Dave was blown away by the Mudhoney meets Thee Hypnotics grunge whallop that pummeled him into rock out mode (exemplified in such tracks on the album as "The Psychic Fayre" and "Rocket 69"). Dave was also impressed by said bands ability to drift into an almost Deadish psych trippy territory ("DMT Blues") without seeming overly jammy or the slightest bit hippyish. Zero Zen follows up the CD released earlier this year with the Silver Apples' Simeon.This is a veteran UK band. Their first release was on Behemoth Records entitled One Eyed Again, recorded from 1991-93. The second release was Camera Obscura's Over and Out from 1998.

Simeon & The Alchemysts - 'The Alchemysts & Simeon' (Rubric).......2007-07-11
Truly inspiring, groundbreaking collaboration.......2003-11-28
very disappointing.......2002-10-24
Simeon (of Silver Apples fame, if you can use the word "fame" in relation to the Silver Apples) layers analog electronics over what the band is playing. Unfortunately, the sounds he makes (which seem to range only from "bloop" to "bleep" in tonal variety) have nothing at all to do with the "songs." He just seems to start making weird noises after the band starts, and quits playing when they quit, with no apparent regard for what the band is doing. Not that the Alchemysts are doing anything interesting to begin with.
Overall this was a thoroughly disappointing CD. It's monotonous, irritating, and ultimately boring. I am no stranger to electronic music or psychedelic music, nor do I have anything against mixing heavy rock with analog electronics (see my Hawkwind reviews), but this stuff just doesn't cut it. It's not even remotely mind-expanding or innovative. I can think of about a hundred obscure psych gems you should get instead of this one. Give this a pass.
