about

Review by Stuart Hamilton for Space Rock UK Magazine.
Nothing to do with the sixties comedy with Don Knotts and Leslie Nielsen (He’s an ASTRO-KNOTT turned ASTRONAUT in the Maddest Mix-up in Space History!!), this is out and out space rock from the mind of Jeff Hopp.
And you will be delighted to know that it’s a full blown psychedelic concept album about M.A.R.S., a mysterious organization called the Man and Robot Society whose chief agent is an expert in analog synthesis whose musical sound generators are the source of propulsion for the mighty starship ‘The Oblivion’. The part of the expert is played by the aforementioned Jeff Hopp.
In finest one man band tradition, Jeff takes care of lead guitar, bass guitar, analog and digital synths, theramin, vocoder, analog drum modules, sonic generators and also acts as alien communicator. And if this sounds to you like the finest confection this side of “It Is The Business Of The Future To Be Dangerous”, you would be 100% correct. For it is space rock of the highest, maddest order.
As The Man from M.A.R.S. sets up a swoosh and a swirl as on the utterly splendid ‘Dance of the Vulcanoids’, then the mix of Hawkwind, mid period Pink Floyd and a sprinkling of hippy Ozric’s tosh is absolutely beguiling. Things peak on the kling klang ‘Twenty-Five Light Years’, which is as good a slab of space rock as you will hear on any planet this year.
