UPANISHAD
“Crossdroad”
(Red Cat Records)
Battle Helm Rating
I have to admit that with a name like UPANISHAD I sorta expected this to be a flipped out Indian musical trip that would make the Beatles seem quite tame (oh! They are tame compared to this). but instead this is quite cool. I will not go as far as saying that this some of the best stuff that I have heard because it is not. But it does have a vibe to it that is cool. I always wonder what a bands thinks when they pick the opening track to an album. Because at times an album opens with the wrong track. In my book you should open with a track that set the tone for the rest of the album. UPANISHAD does that. This is no way a straight forward album. You gotta enjoy a band that kinda is all over the place, yet in a controlled chaos way. This is not my fave of the month but it is good enough for me to enjoy it every now and then. Anders Ekdahl
