Must be high as a kite

I've been wading through a lot of stoner rock this week. Starting from my roots of Kyuss, QOTSA and Clutch, I've just kind of branched outwards and struck a number of veins of gold. However, if this is what I'm going to show you first, I must be high as a kite.

This has nothing to do with the fact that it is a bad choice, however to truly appreciate Colour Haze, I think you need to be down with some heavy hallucinogens.

PROG ALERT: LISTENING TO THIS MUSIC WILL IMMEDIATELY MAKE YOU GROW LONG HAIR, REMOVE YOUR ABILITY TO DANCE AND ABRUPTLY GIVE YOU THE MUNCHIES!

Seriously, this German trio AVERAGES around 10 minutes per song, with some epics reaching past 20. They are a bit of a 70's throwback and really pay homage to psychedelic rock. Initially, when they started out in the mid nineties, their sound was very influenced by Black Sabbath. However, as time went on they evolved into their own unique, trippy jam band.

Below, I've picked a shorter song called Moon for your listening pleasures, however take a chance to visit their site and listen to songs like All and Love... just don't plan on having anything to do for a while.
