Lumerians, USA

News: Lumerians are another band that got away from me recently, but their latest album is titled Call of the Void and was released in June earlier this year. The reviews look good, so I popped for the CD. More to come on UMR!

Location: Oakland, California

Overview: Lumerians' rhythms are pure Krautrock motorik, straight from the Can and Neu! school. The dreamy vocals recall Barrett era Floyd, or perhaps more to the point, the early 90s neo psych of Sun Dial.

    Excellent album. But "Τransmissions From Telos Vol. 4" is their definite statement Tom.
