4.0 out of 5 stars Kinski - 'Airs Above Your Station' (Sub Pop), November 6, 2005

'Airs Above...' is the band's third CD release,and nearly as brain damaging as that split CD they'd done with Acid Mothers Temple(see my review).I'm nearly amazed that a good American space rock ensemble like this even exists in this day and age.We need more bands like this,I'm proud to say.Tracks I found myself playing repeatedly were the ten-minute dream-like opener "Steve's Basement","Rhode Island Freakout","Waves Of Second Guessing" and the Brian Eno inspired "I Think I Blew it Again".Line-up:Chris Martin&Mathew Reid Schwartz-guitars,Lucy Atkins-bass and Dave Weeks-drums.Might appeal to fans of Gong,Abunai,Hawkwind,Monster Magnet(first three albums)and the previously mentioned Acid Mothers Temple.Record store clerk,be sure to file this one under '21st Century Space Rock'.Recommended.

I just got the cd today and I must say this is one of the best purchase I have ever made. I am used to listening to albums with lyrics, however Kinski is an exception. Within 10 seconds of listening to it, I could feel my heartbeat synchronizing perfectly with its tempo. Kinski is a great post-rock shoegaze album with loads of hazy feedback and distortion tied in with a combination of beautiful mellow passages. This album is highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars ENO Meets Sonic Youth, April 3, 2003

Kinski is a relatively new band that has been opening up for the Acid Mothers in NY , I would describe their sound like this imagine Brian Eno joining Velvet Underground or Sonic Youth? Airs Above Your Station is pure Space Rock-experimental using sound as much as anyting creating backdrops of colour. "Schedule for Using Pillows & Beanbags" features tasteful guitar line that weaves into a back and fourth riff that repeats over and over. Very cool, sort of like Syd era Floyd circa late 1967. "Think I Blew It" and "Blew It Again" are the most ENO influence tracks again with washes of sound.
