The Summer of Love is only minutes ago, the Beatles are releasing another psychedelic album and Pink Floyd are jamming with Jefferson Airplane in Swinging London. A hint of grass and incense is wafting through the air, the sky is pink, the meadow is a delicate lilac and long-haired people in raffia robes are smiling as they walk towards the pale blue horizon. Oh, how pretty, these soft-focus memories of the time when everything was just love, peace, joy and pancakes. Instant Flight are the musical rebirth of all these things and feelings. On "Endless Journey" there are Beatles-esque harmonies, dreamy psychedelic sounds, beat-soaked rock'n'roll and also a bit of rhythmically complicated proto-prog. Very pretty and everything sounds like a lost album from the late 60s, well, maybe a bit too perfect in terms of sound, more garage sound would have been better so as not to spoil the authenticity. But what the heck, Instant Flight from London take the listener on a trip into the past and float on cloud nine. They are so lively, light-hearted and melodic that anyone who is somewhat receptive to it will probably enjoy following them, even if some of the melodies seem quite familiar or everything is a bit sweet. Nevertheless, there is still some good rock'n'roll and "Celebrate" and "Universe in a Verse" have that irresistible Beatles sound, including Sgt. Peppers trumpets, sweet! So you can certainly enjoy listening to Instant Flight, indulge a bit in hippie-like thoughts (which is good in these sober times).
