Album: Colour Haze - Tempel (2006)

Released in 2006 on Elektrohasch Records, Tempel is German stoner/psychedelic rock band Colour Haze's eighth full length studio album.This has been one of my favorite albums ever since I heard it. It's great to relax to, as it has a nice, steady, drawn out pace, reminicent of Yawning Man, but slower and with more reverb. The opener, "Aquamaria", is a nice, relaxing, eight minute fourty-two second journey through space which reminds me somewhat of Hawkwind. The rest of the album retains that same, spacey vibe, climaxing at just the right moments, the lulling back into its hypnotic groove. And groove it does, constantly, it's something Colour Haze can do perfectly, never overdoing it, just keeping you drawn in. I just want to be clear: I adore this album. If you're at all a fan of psychedelic music, you should definitely check this out. I mean it. Get this album. You'll love it.
