Transistor

311

A sprawling, 21-track odyssey of spacey reggae-rock and psychedelic textures. Slower and more atmospheric than their hits, it trades rap-rock for cosmic exploration.

August 5, 1997 · Volcano (2)

A cosmic, slightly melancholic drift through psychedelic reggae and space-rock textures.

Moments Worth Listening For
The heavy, distorted riff of Beautiful Disaster giving way to a surprisingly melodic and soaring chorus
The extended, psychedelic guitar solo in Use of Time that feels like it's slowly unraveling in space
The way Stealing Happy Hours dissolves into a nearly six-minute ambient dub wash to close the record
