Infinity of now

"The title may evoke exotica composer Esquivel's 1960 effort Infinity In Sound, but the sound that the Heliocentrics produce here is more of a psychedelic blend of Fela Kuti's propulsive Afrobeat, David Axelrod's symphonic library psych, and BADBADNOTGOOD's hip-hop-flavoured post-apocalypse jazz ... With its sliding strings, boom-bap drums and space-fuzz guitar riff, "Venom" is simply too cool for words. "Light in the Dark" sounds like a discovery from one of Vampisoul's Czech Up! compilations, with Patkova assumingly singing in the similar Slovak while the haunted house organ and warbled violin glissandi lend it an obscure vintage horror film vibe. If you said the fat horns and slappy drums served up with scintillating wah-wah organ of "Hanging by a Thread" was actually the result of a Fela Kuti jam session crashed by Iron Butterfly, many would believe you. Yet, taken as a whole, it has a meditative, if hallucinogenic, flow that focuses the mind through every detour, a flight of fancy with a purposeful direction in fully realized detail".

"The Heliocentrics' multivalently textured sound is by now a trademark signature. Infinity of Now is more adventurous, disciplined, and focused than any of their previous outings. Its dark and murky sonic vision is at once completely out of step with everything else, as well as miles ahead of it".

"Far-out, kaleidoscopic fifth studio set from virtuosic cosmic funkers ... Singer Barbora Patkova's soulful charge (...) brings a tighter focus to a set of roiling, otherworldly jams which sound like Can and Funkadelic getting high on Sun Ra's unfettered jazz supply".
