The Invisible Band is a solo project from UK based musician and writer Alazarin Mobius (aka Rory Cargill). His web site indicates an extensive discography dating back to 1981 and the earlier Invisible Band was apparently a full band.
Mobius describes It's Music, Jim. But Not As We Know It as a simpler stripped-down album which was originally intended to be a live set for a 3-piece band featuring himself on guitar and keyboards, accompanied by a bassist and drummer. Unfortunately the band never materialized so Mobius forged ahead as a solo effort. From the opening 14 minute track, "Llamadome", it's clear that Mobius has returned to progressive influenced space rock territory, and it is in some ways a crossroads between The Queen Of Memes and Castles In The Sky. The keyboards dominate at the beginning and things sound more prog rock oriented, but the space is definitely in yer face, with freaky bubbling synths injecting a powerful alien factor into the music. But around the 5 minute mark Mobius kicks in with the guitars and we're rockin' hard with some cool rip roaring solos and cosmic power chords, all blended in nicely with the keyboards. Far out! And that's only the beginning. "Underworld" and "Sports Model" both kick up the ROCK factor several notches and we're treated to full blown ripping space rock. Th Hawk factor is high, but I also imagined if the Ozrics were more of a prog rock band we might get something like these tracks. Killer guitar work. Mobius is a man possessed. Absolutely monstrous shit. "Seven League Boots" and "Locomotiv" are both 15 minute tracks of heavy rockin' space-prog bliss. That space rock ELP sound I referred to on The Queen Of Memes crops up here too and it's mightily awesome. Heavy progressive for the Hawkwind crowd. Highly recommended. If you're game to check out The Invisible Band and want to wade in slowly with only one disc then this is the one start with. Absolutely.
