Rings Of Saturn - s/t (EP, 2008)

There are other groups with the name Rings Of Saturn. This one here was a three-piece band from Leipzig, Germany in the earlier 2000s. They played a mix of Psychedelic-, Space-, Post Rock, and a bit of Stoner. The guitar melodies even remind of 80s Post Punk/Wave. Their demo was available as a free download, I think I got it from Planet Fuzz, while nowadays it's pretty much "lost material", so I thought it makes sense to share it here.

01. Hexagon (The Signal) (00:00 - 01:23)
02. El Nagual (01:23 - 05:08)
03. Planeta Blanca (05:08 - 12:14)
04. 6000K (12:14 - 19:36)
05. Titan (Rise Of A Colossus) (19:36 - 26:23)
06. Comfortable Gravity (26:23 -)

Notes from their original info sheet:

1. Hexagon (The Signal) - Unknown signal from outta space reaches for planet Earth.

2. El Nagual - Spanish for 'the shaman', who receives the signal in a state of trance. He dematerialises himself and starts to follow the signal to its source.

3. Planeta Blanca - Spanish for white planet. The mayas saw the moon as a planet in our solar-system. On his way the traveller passes the moon and explores his secrets and dark side.

4. 6000K - Average temperature of the surface of the sun in Kelvin. The traveller passes the center of our solar-system, realizes the importance of the sun to our 'being'.

5. Titan (Rise Of A Colossus) -The biggest moon of Saturn with the potential for mikrobiological lifeforms. The shaman explores the surface and finds 'the proof'. He gains consciousness that what is called 'being' has infinite possibilities in this universe.

6. Comfortable Gravity - The shaman sees Saturn rising behind the horizon of Titan and realizes that this planet is the source of 'the signal'. He is overwhelmed and astonished by its beauty and mysticism and let himself get into its gravity.

Since then this human-being is drifting in circles as a part of the rings of Saturn.

Other information:

The hexagon is one of the most high-energetic geometric forms, which appears in nature.

Shamans often consume Psylocibine to take a 'journey'.

It is extremely improbable that the size of a moon can produce a perfect eclipse of the sun on the planet he surrounds.

In the movie 2001 - Space Odyssey, the third monolith was planned to circle in the atmosphere of Saturn, but they took Jupiter, because it was easier to animate at this time.

At the north pole of Saturn is a huge (25.000 km diameter) perfect and natural hexagon which is spinning around itself.

There is no hidden track. It's only illusion ...
