Subarachnoid Space — Almost Invisible
(Bandcamp Release Entertainment RR 6959, 1997, CD / DL)

by Dane Carlson, Published 1998-02-01

Subarachnoid Space is an improvisational, guitar-based San Francisco band, who basically kick ass. Almost Invisible is taken from two live shows. The first four tracks are from Oakland's Ptomaine Temple in 1996, and the last two tracks from LA's Spaceland Club. It reminds me of "Set the Controls" era Pink Floyd with what I imagine Sonic Youth to sound like. This album grabs you and never lets go — the entire CD delivers nearly an hour of riveting, pulse-pounding, "industrial" psych music. Jason Stein and Michelle Schreiber hold it together (and then some!) on bass and drums, but it's the dual guitars of Mason Jones and Melynda Jackson that really set this off. It's more like an evolving guitar experiment, a barrage of post-psychedelic mayhem. What really attracts me is its driving rhythm; the guitars may go off into the realm of noise, but it never loses its groove. Highly recommended.
