With just three songs their writing tends towards a longer mark on Liquid Sun, but even with some aspects of the music repeating many times over as they move their compositions forward I don't feel as if any ideas outstay their welcome. This is more evident in the second and third of the album's three tracks than in the opening title track, which features a gradually building atmosphere that initially gives no clue about the band's hard rock influences but steadily increases in heaviness until it fully emerges in its latter stages and from there until the album's conclusion The Spacelords find a perfect balance between spacey atmosphere and delivering some great riffs as well. While The Spacelords primarily play space rock, they can actually be pretty heavy and hard rocking while doing so.
That's why, for me at least, an artist such as Germany's The Spacelords are a rare find an instrumental artist who not only enthral with their music, but do it in such a way that adding any sort of vocals to it would most likely ruin the entire experience. As much as a good instrumental section can really get me going on an album, I rarely find myself too interested by fully instrumental releases.
