CRITICAL PRAISE:

"The difference between Helicon and other 'psych' bands is that they have beautifully crafted songs alongside the big psychedelic freakouts" - Mark Gardener, RIDE

"I've been a fan since their early incarnation. Helicon have a recognizable sound but are always evolving, never afraid to try something new" - Martin Bulloch, Mogwai

"Helicon show that musical borders are there to be broken... A force to be reckoned with and a live spectacle like no other." - Shindig!

Highest Primzahl On Mars (Instrumental Spacerock Psychedelic Krautrock, Frankfurt)

Wacky, fresh psychedelic spacerock with hints of krautrock. Away from the usual song structures, long hypnotic tracks that invite you to drift off and make it impossible to stand still. "In song lengths of between 15 and what feels like an infinite number of minutes, the four musicians from Frankfurt know how to stretch the boundaries of space and time to such an extent, using complex structures with unpredictable rhythms to build up arcs of tension almost imperceptibly until the climactic explosion, taking a step back from time to time and using theremin and other effects to create a truly galactic atmosphere so that the listener can really lose themselves completely in this very unique musical universe.
