Mirrors are a bizarre "progressive psychedelia" band from
Massachusetts that has put out this 3-song EP. It is a nice collection
of songs; each track features calm, almost chanted vocals sung over a
trancey backdrop. "Voices", for example, features trippy
vocals layed over a sitar backing. This combination has a very creepy,
ethereal effect that works very well in the dark. "Field of
Dreams", meanwhile, is a bit more rock-based. With a menacing
bassline, prog-influenced, spacey electric guitars, and intense
vocals, it is the track that most lives up to the "progressive
psychedelic" title. "Eclectic Caravan" isn't as rock-oritented,
though, and stays mostly in the new age realm.
Aside from the fact that they are on a cdr, these songs have a very
professional feeling and are very cleanly recorded. Altogether, this
is a nice release for prog and new age fans, but eight dollars for
three songs is a bit steep.
