The Satori In Elegance Of The Majestic Stonegazer goes back to a wilder improvisational past, with the musicians freely exploring the meandering universes of psychedelia, blues and acid rock DISAGREEMENT AUGUST 2012
"No strangers to the pages of Prog, here's a band who combine elements of space rock, psychedelia and electronica.... The Welsh band then add in their own flavours - and some very long album titles - to provide the soundtrack to a wigged-out acid trip. Magical indeed." CLASSIC ROCK PRESENTS PROG JUNE 2012
"For space-rockers, Hawk freaks and hardened Brit festie-goers this will be one of the essential releases of the year. Maen nhw'n gweithredu'n groes i bolisiau'r llywodraeth PTOLMAIC TERRASCOPE JUNE 2012
"An acid, lysergic stoned-gazer! It’s still June, but this is One of the Best Albums of 2012! Come along if you dare! Take a ride to the land inside your mind!" TIMEMAZINE GREECE JUNE 2012
"It's a real grower that keeps drawing me back for more listens and it reveals more and more with each play, and unusually for this type of album it sounds a thousand... times better through loud speakers than it does through headphones, and the louder the better."
"practitioners of guitar yoga meditation show to their followers another documentary evidence of their successful tries in ...musical asanas and skilful practice of instrumental via ethereal subconscious jam sessions." DOOMMANTIA JUNE 2012
"Hard rocking psychedelic instrumentals with searing guitar and a hypnotizing melodic riffs" AURAL INNOVATIONS JUNE 2012
So the album includes lengthy and pretty heavy mid-tempo space jams where Peter’s tight guitar playing really shines as well as beautiful, more atmospheric and softly floating tracks. They do everything with style and, even more importantly, with emotion

Sendelica have covered a lot of ground over several albums, and on their latest they are rocking out in space while diverting traveler-listeners to various stylistic ports of call..soaring, howling and bubbling space electronics JERRY KRANITZ, AURAL INNOVATIONS OCT 2011

Set the effects pedals to 'heavy phase and flange' all at once! 'Guiding The Night' is heavy heavy - half Sabbath, half Ozrics - while 'Orion Delight' matches lovely arpeggiated guitars with a hypnotic tapestry of subtle synths. PTOLMAIC TERRASCOPE, UK AUG 2011

. the band does not stand still! So welcome to the "Pavilion of Magic"! Magic mirrors, hypnosis, levitation lessons and astral vision are now available to all. These guys are professional magicians, but they play so well that you can hardly tell a game of your imagination from reality DOOMNATIA, JUNE 2011 "Raw, erotic...from Wales, surprisingly. ... look, just buy the sucker before it sells out, ok?" a collision between Pink .the bluesy, superb and psychedelic acid rock jam Spacehopper Blues seems to resurrect Jimi Hendrix from the dead and the over 25-minute-long trip Day of the Locust after its peaceful beginning has lots of different stuff in it like wild, Acid Mothers Temple-like guitar terrorism and mad drum-pounding, a cosmic trip. PSYCHOTROPIC ZONE, FINLAND AUGUST 2010 After the languid haze of the opening track "Song Of the Seidr" is lifted the band tears directly into the six minute frenetic, dub fuzz of "Dream Mangler" which features heaping amounts of Bingham's trademark guitar playing and psychedelic effects. From there it's straight into one of their most elaborate compositions to date "Screaming And Streaming Into The Starlit Night" which is certainly a bit of a departure for the band, but one that pays huge dividends. I love how Lee Relfe's exquisite soprano sax work and Bingham's droning guitar motif sets the tone in the early stages, slowing building the level of intensity before the door is finally blown clear off the hinges with a sizzling solo. SEA OF TRANQUILITY, USA JULY 2010 The cornerstone of Streamedelica is the 25-minute Day of the Locust a titanic-wig out of jaw dropping, or should that be brain melting intensity stretching out over 25 minutes. I would defy even Acid Mothers Temple to come up with anything more full-on. Imagine a chamber orchestra of goblins tuning up at twilight in your local wood and you’re about there. PTOLMAIC TERRASCOPE, UK JUNE 2010 This is where space rock turns into outer space rocka fully fledged frenzy of psychedelic rockingshifting between jamming prog solos and high voltage noise riffage that really takes it out there. MONOCHROME, LUXEMBOURG MAY 2010 some of the best psychedelia I have heard in a long time the album’s magnum opus Day Of The Locust, a twenty-five minute monster that may start out rather well behaved but soon finds its way into no-holds-barred guitar driven psyche rock as if Hawkwind were jamming with Black Sabbath. Great stuff! Psychedelic rock fans and those who curious about out-of-this-world sonic exploration should definitely get their hands on this fine piece of music.
Sendelica make music for your senses, best listened to at high volume, alone in a room, or in the field, eyes closed and dreaming. Dreams about future and past. if you are very much into improvisation or psychedelia then Sendelica is an absolute must DPRP, AUSTRIA MAY 2010 " Streamedelica , She Sighed As She Hit Rewind On The Dream Missing Remote "is Sendelicas best and most mature work. The album is definitely an essential slice of psychedelic music, and has so many qualities that it is a feast for the ears. a hypnotic , engaging and fascinating MERLINS PROG, NORWAY JUNE 2010
..a Floydian workout that slowly builds into a screaming wall of psychedelic noise, ending this rather magnificent album in style. ..freewheeling music spiralling to the stars with twinkling ease This is definitely the finest thing the band have released, imaginative, crisp, free flowing and with a warm production, I heartily recommend it to all lovers of space/psychedelic rock music. (Simon Lewis) Ptolmaic Terrascope UK 2009
a fabulous collection of seven face melting jams that is absolutely compelling from beginning to end, as they shift gears from heavy all out guitar oriented jams to spacey, introspective, ambient passages, with relative ease. Take an hour for yourself and plug yourself directly into this masterpiece immediately. We're only at the halfway point of the year but Sendelica have definitely delivered a serious top ten contender for this writer's 'best of 2009' list. (Ryan Sparks) Sea of Tranquility USA 2009 Often excitingly fee-form, witness the deliberately ragged conglomeration of' ' Humans Gathered Together In a cave Grooving Like Picts', they're also as tight as hell when they need to be. From the basic rythmn comes the extended groove, It's Sendelicas ability to interpret and elaborate on that groove that marks them out. Sendelica stand out from the crowd because they play instrumental stoner rock without getting boring. Which in itself is a feat of epic notoriety. I start to think about Black Sabbath and John Coltrane, because there is some of both in Sendelica. Monochrome 2009 you might get the impression that Sendelica are into classical psyche rock, but the track Manhole Of The Universe displays for twelve whole minutes that improvisation is still the main force behind their music. Inspired by very early Pink Floyd and Hawkwind, the band conjures a freewheeling psychedelic sound Disagreement Europe 2009
I thought I had a pretty good idea of what Sendelica are all about, that is until they totally blow your mind with the absolute guitar tour de force on "Indrid Cold". Check out the crazy solo's Bingham tosses out on this twelve minute epic, not to mention Pescado's thick and rubbery bass lines and the busy work of Fields behind the kit. another magical release and certainly one worthy of your attention, from the folks over at the Russian label R.A.I.G. (Ryan Sparks) SEA OF TRANQUILITY, USA 2007
"Indrid Cold", twelve minutes of guitar heaven, Pete Bingham laying the universe to waste as he romps across the fretboard, a solid and inspired rhythm section providing a perfect platform for the sonic wizardry that soars overhead. Here everything comes together, the song demonstrating everything that is good about the band, playful, spacey and able to rock out with the best of them.. (Simon Lewis) PTOLEMAIC TERRASCOPE UK 2007
The group's arsenal of sound is quite impressive: the hypnotic pulse of Can, the impressionistic atmospherics of Pink Floyd, the motorized proto-punk of Neu, the space patrolling guitar pyrotechnics of Hendrix and the otherworldly ambiences of The Orb. All of this and more pervades virtually every track on Spaceman Bubblegum. (Charles Van de Kree) AURAL INNOVATIONS USA 2008
Welsh band signed to a Russian label, is that a first? We're talking well played, well produced imaginative instrumental guitar based psych/space rock with a healthy retro blues/prog rock flavour. Recommended ORGAN MAGAZINE, LONDON, UK 2007
a guitar driven sound-scape that instantly transports you to a world of swirling colures and non stop freaky dancing that only girls in mini skirt can undertake. The entire experience is one of boho living with multi coloured bean bags all filled with Charley Croker's bevy of international beauties just waiting for a corrupting influence to come along. (Aled Jones) GLASSWERK, UK 2007
Pink Floyd. The Orb. Spaceman 3, Hawkwind. Neu, Tangerine Dream ... Just a few of our favorite space rock bands. We've got another to add to the list and that would be the Welsh group Sendelica.. full-blown psychedelic soundscapes, and a little dub tossed in to boot. A very pleasant and stimulating head trip. (Jim Sullivan) BOSTON GLOBE, USA 2007
