REVIEW by Jerry Kranitz
Mitch Rushton’s The Bridges of Time features a brand of deep space electronica that’s similar to Maz Mitrenke’s Psychonaut, which preceded it in the Harsh Reality catalog (HR164). Both tapes were also released on Mitch’s Alternate Media Tapes label.
Opening track ‘Dreamscapes’ is a blend of dark 1980s sci-fi soundtrack and cool grooving space rock. Some of it reminds me of a more electronic version of the band Soma’s Epsilon album. And from there we’re on a journey into thematically evolving celestial space rock. The music often has a groove that injects a slowly steady rock pulse.
Side Two opens with intense orchestration, before launching into the spaced out but action oriented ‘The War for Eternity’. The music then melts back into the rhythmically floating heavens with the title track. And ‘Yesterday’s Child’ is a standout that’s tastefully enhanced by Maz Mitrenke’s guitar. A beautiful set.
