THE PSYCHEDELIC COUNCIL:
The
music ranges from psychedelic rock, to spacey psych-pop, to
ancient tribal soundscapes. Cosmic vocals, wild guitars, spaced
out synthesizers with rock solid bass and drums, it is music
to let unfold before you as it happens. An audio companion
on your next psychedelic adventure. Sounds and vibrations for
your parties on Earth or wherever you may find yourself in
space and time. Putting this cd on loop repeat may create a
vortex that can be useful in dimensional phase corrections.
Play loud, rock on!

MAGICK MUSEUM
GOLDMINE
MAGAZINE, USA
"Riffs'
music is characterized by loads of fuzz guitar, metaphysical
and otherwise transcendental lyrics, droning harmonics, reverb-saturated
vocals, bits of raga-rock and plenty of other psychedelic effects
and gestures."
HARTBEAT,
GERMANY
"Nicks
swirling psychedelic pop music could well claim a genre of
it's own, and with all the different textures and it's multi-colored
facets it's a must for any connoisseur of wonderful and outstanding
music."
AURAL
INNOVATIONS, USA
"This
guy really excels at fusing psychedelic influences from a number
of eras... yet there's a freshness to Nicks' sound that heads
off the temptation to tag him as being too retro."
PSYCHOTROPIC
ZONE, Finland
"Nick
Riff is a master of great melodies and his guitar solos in
particular are a real treat. Magick Museum is an excellent
way to update yourself with Nicks' music so far."
KWEEVAK,
USA
"Nicks'
music is a magical blend of alternative, psychedelic, punk,
and rock."
CLEVELAND
SCENE, USA
"The
disc was designed to introduce Riff to a new audience, and
it probably will.... Riff is at his best when mixing pure -
pop glee with drugy atmospherics. Those moments make Magick
Museum a mind altering, mindless good time."
ORGAN,
UK
"Nick
Riff writes the kind of songs that could bring MTV back to
life... Psychedelia for those who like the sounds
but don't want to wallow in nostalgia."
ABUS
DANGEREUX, France
"Nick
Riff produces pre-Raphaelite rock, the music equivalent of
Gustane Moreau. His influences are remarkably varied: The
sixties Spector sound, acid, garage, pop and punk."
PTOLEMAIC
TERRASCOPE, UK
"Soulfoul
psychedelic signatures, right on lyrical attitude and trippy
guitar pyrotechnics."
SUPERNATURAL
FAIRY TALES, Italy
"...It's
a convincing synthesis of the garage/psych languages from the
eighties to present day."
KICK
OUT THE JAMS, Spain
"Themes
have been made with good purpose; to fly your spirit and mind
with wonderful magic moments."
GROHINGA
WELL, Belgium
"...a
school example of psychy pop fairy tales. Albums like
this are important because they make one realize a child has
unlimited fantasy, one of the most valuable qualities in life
to possess."
ROCK'N'REEL,
UK
"...equal
parts 60's punk, garage and psychedelia. Thundering and
swirling soundscapes abound in the realm of Riff."
COOL
CLEVELAND . COM, USA
"Magick
Museum may not be every ones cup of herbal tea, but it's certainly
worth an extended listen if you can dig the old lava lamp out
of the closet, find some incense to light and get in the right
frame of mind." |
