Korb is the new project from Alec Wood and Jonathan Parkes (previously know as Mutante, whose album I will be reviewing at a later date). The eponymous titled album is the duo's second release on their homegrown record label Dreamlord Recordings.
Korb is a fantastic album filled with retro synths, drums, guitars and keyboards. Parkes and Wood certainly know their stuff and take the listener on a trip full of atmospheric synth-lead prog/space-rock grooves. The influences take various nods towards the Krautrock scene, especially the likes of Can, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk and Neu!, as well as homegrown space cadets Hawkwind. This album is no retro-style homage to these bands though as Korb meld their inspirations into a fresh sounding manifestation of cool sonic-fuelled instrumentals, taking you on an otherworldly journey that feeds the mind as well as your ears. Quite possibly the best album I've heard this year.
Highly recommended.

Standout tracks are:
Power Structure, Earth Ritual and Teleforce.
