This EP was a precursor to Nactmahr, and perhaps the most lost of all Merlin releases. On Bandcamp for a week before deleted and replaced by Nactmahr; it went Exclusively to Hand Drawn CD. This was a CD given away at shows only, now for you to hear for seemingly the first time.

2012 Merlin was alot different than 2022 Merlin. We had little to no instruments to our name... a Line 6 Amp, Rock Band Drums, a Kaossilator, old beat up guitars and a Casio Keyboard from the 90s. We never knew what kind of project we were starting so we simply made weird ass music. Maybe it was to out weird the previous song. Maybe its because we went mad with magic we couldn't handle. Whatever it is, the long deleted albums have finally made the light of day, on this the 10th anniversary of the band.
Can a modern era Merlin fan handle old school Merlin? You be the judge of that

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art?
But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst

It's only four tracks, yes, but it's four tracks of great cosmic psychedelia.

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points.
This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor
