Tales From The Ashram

by GU-RU

supported by

Andy Madden Seen the band live twice now, most recently at SRS2021 - a most exsquisite sound of synths, flute drums and vocals. Spacey and catchy. Be sure to dance around when we're allowed to; post covid restrictions!
Favorite track: FLEX.

"The full nine progressive yards..." (Tom Robinson - BBC 6music)

"This is music designed to put a smile on your face" (PROG Magazine)

“Bloody hell – prog rock!! And Canterbury prog rock at that!" (Rob Ball- Fresh on the Net)

"Throughout a prog and psychedelic music fan’s voyage along kaleidoscopic dreamscapes, it is always a delight to hear something fresh and engaging while maintaining masterful artistry. GU-RU, a prog-psych band based in the UK brings exactly that to the table with “Kingdom Within” (MOOF Magazine)

"A barrelling psychedelic joy ride through a Brutalist cityscape as sweaty funk collides with Hillage & Hawkwind trippiness…” (Plunger)

"Additionally, the lyrics in the song have a delightfully hallucinatory vibe to them, and are just one of the multitude of reasons why this audio treasure should be explored by lovers of either psychedelic or prog sounds." (MOOF)

“It’s a multi sensory psychedelic frisson” (BBC INTRODUCING)

"GU-RU are a welcome breath of late ‘60s psychedelic and early ‘70s progressive rock influenced fresh air" (Eighth Day Magazine)

Thanks to the nice-endof-year-offer I came to fill this gap in my private worm collection (a, pardon me, worm hole, so to speak :-)) Wonderful reminiscence to many good things past (Canterbury, 70s prog, folk rock) with a good sense of humour and great ideas (both in the songwriting & in the arrangements) .

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world. Hakim Zulkufli
