Sendelica, before the pandemic Covid-19 days, was one of the most hard-working bands, in releasing albums. During the pandemic days, in between lockdowns and curfews, they did find the way, to practice, jam, record, and release their musical inspirations… So, a new Sendelica album makes no surprise to all of us fans of instrumental Psych-Space-Rock… Sendelica are based in West Wales and the core band members are Pete Bingham on guitars & electronics, Glenda Pescado on bass, Meurig Griffiths on drums, Lee Relfe on sax, and Lord Armstrong Sealand on theremin & synths.

“And Man Created God” consists of 9 tunes, it starts in a slow futuristic way with “Aeolian Sunrise”, it has a cinematic feel and the band builds a Proggy-Ambient-like and Eastern-influenced Neo-Prog soundscape… On “Exodus From Ur”, the scenery becomes Space-Prog with a sharp Krauty attitude and a mood to experiment… On “Deuterosophia” the band makes another scenery-changing, serene, ambient music with a trippy beat and a gentle Sax sounding and an even more trippy guitar sound, creating a quiet relaxing atmosphere acting like an after-midnight let-loose jam that towards its end becomes cinematically orchestrated! “Mmt” has a cool ‘summer’ melody and a nice shimmering guitar sound, a tune that simultaneously flirts with Space-Rock and Prog-Rock… “Tainted God” is a Neo-Space-Prog anthem with a rhythmic beat, that sounds like a krauty version of a Hawkwind song, Superb!!! “The Seekers” is another cool improvised Space jam while “Illuminated Skies” has a heavier approach to the band’s Impro Space Rock, a rather adventurous orchestration too! The next one is my favorite song in here, it is called “Seren Golawr”, 11 minutes and 39 seconds of a fantastic slow spacey tune with lovely female vocals, a late-night Mind-Expanding Space-Prog Elegy! Eventually, the album closes with “Epilogue Sunset”, a mesmerizing guitar-based Heavenly Spacey jamming! “And Man Created God” is an album not to be missed from your Sendelica collection. “And Man Created God” is an album to start ideally your future Sendelica collection! And Man created God… And God created Sendelica… TimeLord Michalis
