Hi,
I just came across a second Soma cd of which I did not think existed at all. Being an American I was fortunate to come across and still own Epsilon which I think is a very honest effort at space/rock. Really I am a musician and compose electronic music so from that standpoint I can tell some of the performance could have been tighter BUT nevertheless you can hear the honesty and fun the band had recording the music. It has all the elements of space rock deep synth noodling ala Tim Blake, guitar ala Ozrics, echoed vocals and a very nice psych/space appeal to the compositions! Nice job Soma wherever you are! Greg

Review of dreamtime by soma.
its the 9 of october 2002, and its good to see this album still for sale.it was a blast,being involved in the making of this album.it has some timeless music on it,and although i can honestly say, that we were not the most proficient musicians in the world.we made a great vibe,in the studio and live,and we had a genuine sound,with a mixture of psychedelia,ambient,and balls out rock music.if i could make this album again,of course i would change some of what is there,but i am proud of my imput on dreamtime.and i hope you enjoy listening to it as much as i enjoyed making it.Dreamtime..Space Rock,with a hint of Yes,The Ozrics,Hawkwind,etc. sean filkins

i failed to think of anything overly sentimental or anything ANYBODY would find of interest to say about recording this LP. it's interesting to note the only comments about this recording are from those who recorded it - big up ourselves eh? Kaptain K

Great band, good album. Where are you now, guys? Steve Palmer

Sad to think that after all this time, one cannot be proud of one's music without bitter comments from ex band "friends". The personal review was written, not to big the band up, the music, or one's self, but to relay how I felt during the recording and 99% of my time with the band, and hope that if the recording was still available, that those thinking of purchasing it, may have some idea of what the music was all about. Sorry you feel this way Mr Kidney. I would have thought better of you. General F

I've few regrets in life - least of about this LP.

This'll definitely be the 6th online comment re this album.

Love to all. Field Marshall K

Ah Ha... well look what i just found.....Soma! yeay!
20 years have gone by since i first joined the band then called Oracle Mind.
I used to drive 2 and a quarter hours to sheppy to rehearse with these guys, loved what they were doing as a hawkwind fan of years gone by i could see the creativity these guys had!
Sadly all good things came to an end, three recordings and three euro tours later!
Enjoyed my time with the guys.
Now i have a recording studio in Swindon! yes Swindon! i know its full of roundabouts but it also has a wealth of talent too and so i devote my time bringing out the best in the musically creative side of Swindon. www.drivemusic.co.uk is the studio website and any of the soma clan can reach me though that link,
Best wishes and love and peace to all soma full review Philip Legende
