"Also coming on in a headlong rush is the self-titled debut album
by Liverpool band Mugstar, whose eight tracks of driving motorik
Litmus-style instrumentals distil/streamline all the best late
Lemmy-period Hawkwind into a tougher and more speedfreaked out
version of top flight La Dusseldorf."
JULIAN COPE Jan 2007 Head Heritage
"Noisy Liverpool band who managed to invent time travel and
successfully steal the very essence of early Amon Dⁿⁿl II and
Hawkwind, they ditch the vocal for some Mogwai-ish post-rock /
Sonic Youth noise, yet do it all in a style of their own. A
beautifully packaged bit of heavy limited vinyl û I've put some
feelers out to see if I can get a few copies for the shop as I
vaguely know one of them. My debut LP of the year."
PINK FISH MEDIA Dec 2006
"Right out of the starting gate you can tell we're going to be in
deep and heavy space rock territory. "My Baby Skull Has Not Yet
Flowered" [LOVE that title!] opens the set and is a relentlessly
pounding cosmic assault that brings to mind the most intense
moments of Space Ritual era Hawkwind.
"Crempog Smultron"is similar but has a more modern and
sophisticated rhythmic pace that I really dig. Like a blend of
Hawkwind, Circle and Godspeed You Black Emperor, if you can
imagine that.
"Good Posture vs. Bad Posture" is one of my favorite tracks of the
set. It starts off very different from the first couple tunes,
sounding very much like a Black Sun Ensemble styled hard psych
rocker. But after a few minutes it shifts gears, easing the pace
with mind-bending soaring space guitars that serve as a peaceful
transitional bit, before once again launching into a potent space
assault that sounds like Farflung at their most intense and with
an ultra heavy King Crimson-ish bass. Outtasight!!
"Subtle Freak" is one of the slowest, yet most powerful tracks of
the set, starting off with a very cool combination of calmly
tripping space guitars and ominous pounding bass, yet soon
launching into a space rocking soundscape jam that rocks like a
spaced out version of King Crimson on the one hand, but also has
that power-ambient Godspeed You Black Emperor feel, and perhaps a
wee bit of shoegazer drift. Absolutely fantastic.
"Man With Supersight" closes the set and is a head bashing Circle
like punky post-rock, prog-rock, whatever you wanna call it feel.
In summary, Mugstar play all instrumental, 100% undiluted space
rock, but with a flair for blending multiple influences from both
early and contemporary eras, making them ultimately difficult to
really define or pigeonhole. This will easily make my best of 2007
list."
