★★★☆
Active Galacticcontains the sort of groovy tunes you’d hear sitting at the bar in The Restaurant at The End of the Universe, smashing Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters with your semi-half-cousin Zaphod Beeblebrox.
Think ’70s disco meets reggae with a surfy rock’n’roll creamy centre. Most tracks are so psychedelic that they will probably induce multiple metaphorical musical orgasms (try saying that ten times fast), so beware of playing this one while driving.
You may feel like smoking a nug or two during ‘Get Right’ while ’Stay While You Run Away’ will make you want to put on a Hawaiian shirt, stroke your imaginary (or real) horseshoe moustache and go catch some gnarly waves.
This album is filled with sexy, husky singing, hypnotic guitar riffs, smooth bass and bangin’ drum beats, plus a multitude of other instruments adding to its stellar quality.
These guys might just be the “baddest motherfuckers in the beehive”, and, indeed, the galaxy. Once you get a taste of Active Galactic, you’ll want to get your hands on it more than Zoltan wants the Continuum Transfunctioner.
Live long and prosper The Delta Riggs (so you make more albums).
