The new millennium was upon us. A metamorphosis for a better future met the Hypnomen after the release of one LP, one mini-LP and a batch of rough little singles. The garage trio gave way first to a groovy quartet and, later, a quintet. Instead of earwax-scorching guitar noise, the new Hypnomen concentrated on the essential: The rhythms and colors produced by an expanding consciousness. On the Watusi 99 album, released in 1999, the band used a palette consisting of cool soundtrack tones and the following year's Trip with Satan was on fire with latin a go-go. In 2002, Andromeda Airport took all that had gone before and stuck it in the blender, somehow managing to produce a sense of cohesion.

Now The Hypnomen is, musically, exactly what it wants to be. An acidic juggernaut floating on a light groove. The sound, drenched in Hammond organs, fuzz guitars and percussion brings to mind the timelessly radical past of rock music. Afro-headed funksters, ambassadors of love with their droopy moustaches, mohair-suited hipsters, hippie chicks drugged on freedom rock, and space-age psychedelians are all heroes in the Hypnomen's instrumental cosmos. The Hypnomen are not ashamed of their good taste, stylish record collections or sense of history. They use all this to make good music. Hypnomen are lovers of music, who play for people who love music. We wish you love and heavy, heavy vibes.
