If you include the very limited live album "Live-O-Graphic", The Galileo7 already have their fifth album in the shops. Allan Cockford, the bustling Medway-Beat-heed, longtime sidekick of PRISONERS-boss Graham Day (among others SOLAR FLARES, GOALERS), Billy Childish (MIGHTY CAESARS, BUFF MEDWAYS etc.) sweeps over the six strings with ease. Mole, the "new one" on the drums, finally gives the Seven the necessary Keith Moon flair, a real Loony! The fact that gentlemen around fifty play here sounds astonishing at first, they produce an energy that one might expect from a teenage band. As ever, The Galileo7 are deeply rooted in the mid-sixties beat sound, which they pimp out with psychedelic sprinkles. So "Mystery train" sounds like a forgotten number of Syd Barrett's PINK FLOYD, and also "The mask" offers wonderfully dreamy acid folk in the style of the "Rubble" samplers. But when Cockford and his colleagues get up to speed, they're not far away from their Medway beat colleagues LEN PRICE 3. A dream of an album has succeeded The Galileo7 here. (Gereon Helmer, ox-fanzine.de)
The Galileo7 are a band that uses quotes from the sixties in their songs as naturally as hardly any other band and sounds so natural that you think we are in the sixties. And this is also due to the excellent production. The album is a little more than a year old now and belongs to the Top 3 of the last year for me in this direction. As already mentioned in the review, the new drummer 'Mole' has brought the band one step forward again. Those who like this music will have a lot of fun with this album.(Frank)
