Temple of The Soul by The Insektlife Cycle
I first heard the new album TEMPLE OF THE SOUL by THE INSEKTLIFE CYCLE in the middle of the night, so when I awoke in the morning after a few more hours of sleep, I had to wonder if it was a dream or if I had really listened to some of the very best instrumental psychedelic improvisation that I have ever heard? The answer is a flat-out YES and do not take only my word for how wonderful this collection of four tracks lasting nearly an hour are. The band was kind enough to share the album the The Swamp Krewe, and their response was immediate and unanimous: This is simply a fantastic album. Each song is unique, the improv stays true to each song without ever getting repetitive, and each instrument gets a chance to break out for its own little trip into outer space. I simply cannot recommend this album highly enough. Take a listen for yourself:
I asked The Insektlife Cycle if they would share a little about the album with us:
Temple of The Soul was recorded live on a 4 track cassette recorder. It’s a 2 and half hour jam resulting into a 4 track album
Since the album was recorded on tape, can you imagine how good the cassette edition is? And luckily there is a tape for sale:

The Insektlife Cycle is based in the Philippines, and its members are Joy Legason (bass), Ronnel Vivo (guitars & synth), Jay Jumawan (guitars), and Ronaldo S. Vivo, Jr. on drums (and he also did the excellent albumm art). More band photos below!
