"....Now, rather excitingly, the musical maverick is back. Empowered by t’internet, a new generation of musicians can be as experimental as they like without having to worry about how it sounds to an A&R man. One such artist is Pilgrim Speakeasy, who combines the funkadelics of Parliament with a political and mystical message, the likes of which HOLV has never heard..." (from an interview with Heaven or Las Vegas music magazine) "...experimental and creative, the melding of funk sounds with world music and hard rock into a celebration of musical exploration. I like this disc a lot – and if you give it a chance, you probably will, too..." Gary Hill. (Music Street Journal review of the Moon Emperor album.) WELCOME TO THE SPEAKEASY... Pilgrim Speakeasy’s music comes over like the lovechild of Funkadelic ,world music and a cosmic third Party with drinks served by Neitzsche and whatever was behind the Lau Tsu....... Fonkadelic..edgy..hugely groovy..earthy and raw...dancing melodies encompassing socio-cosmic poetry with foreys into psychadelia..world..and occasionaly electro synthdom. Smacking and caressing at the same time. Has been found to be accidentally accesible. ........Fashion is always shite in hindsight. LIKES: The tingle down the spine of being overjoyed .----------- DISLIKES: Being obligated toward conforming to bad karma WHAT THEY SAY ; "your music's fucking genius ! reminded me a bit of funkadelic, awesome stuff " " Funk-rock WITHOUT seams? I guess we have it now! You can really do that classic rock and retro funk sound without sounding forced or fake! Keep rockin, and keep progressing :-D Stay up " " Man, this slightly hybidized stuffyou do really works! I find myself in many different places, landscapes, when listening to these pieces, and that's always a very interesting function of good music. You've got the soul! Intoxicating stuff." "beautifull original music!!!!" "Tight tunes, that's some raw originality fella." "You've got that classic experimental space prog that's been missing" "Great stuff- tried Tony Allen's Home Cooking or drank from the waterfall of Shuggie Otis Inspiration Information?" "Ewwww..... This music is disgusting.............Ilike it.Funky sh*t. I dig it." "Nice music! reminds me of the time i fell through a book into the world of Pink Fluffy trees and the land of the 7ft tall salamanders" "Lev is sooooooo d**e...it totally lifts me up,.peace." "I dig your music.It makes me feel like floating on the pool of XTC" "I did try bellydancing to your tunes and keep doing it ...it works just awesome. I love your music" "Well, well, what a delightfully unusual and twisted web you weave here.And such a polite young man too." "WOW - Psychadelic Wonderland" "Your music is perfect for inspiration, it's like a coulorfull wavy trip2 "Love the music. It's taking me away from my work.you're very naughty ! Xx" -------
