Title: Phenix : from ashes to lava, not in AZ !
Review: The Warlocks remember they are named after the pre-Velvet Underground unit. The first song here, "Shake the dope out", is a briliant tribute to the Velvet's "Foggy Notion", though this is only one asset of the band which is really not into revivalism. These guys, four guitar players, two drummers plus keyboard player are rocking as serious devils eager to activate their fires. "Cosmic letdown" shows how Hawkwind could have become fashionable and not boring. And again, this is so different, the sound is huge, tremendous bass and a feeling of genuine enjoyment. My favorite tune, "dope feels good", is an incredible pulsing beat grooving through the ever changing voices of the artists, twisting their necks in passing to the Daft Punk cliches. More than 60 minutes of music on 10 songs, the Warlocks are like incandescent lava !
