DR SPACE REVIEWS CARLTON MELTON LIVE ALBUM— This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..

If you like the mood and feeling of the band, then you will for sure dig this. They never play anything exactly like the records, it is about going out into space and exploring the other side with these guys…  Great band..

Skug.at musik kultur ( Germany ) reviews Carlton Melton Live Europe 2023

Carlton Melton is at home in California and the musical heritage of the region is their mission. They play instrumental West Coast Jam Rock. The recipe for this original soup goes back to classics like Quicksilver Messenger Service, The Grateful Dead, the middle byrds and obscure bands of that time like Fraction and many others that Patrick Lundborg brought together in »The Acid Archives«. Carlton Melton enriches their psychedelic cocktail with a pinch of Japrock à la Flower Travellin' Band and a touch of Hawkwind and in this musical neighborhood there are quite a few contemporary bands that do the same.

Psych Lovers Top 20 AOTY 2023 from The Fragmented Flaneur

‘Last Times’ begins with some lovely, soulful kosmische vibes and gradually sinks heavier and heavier, before finishing on a lighter note once again. This leads perfectly into ‘Migration’, a purely electronic track.

If the final track, ‘Mutiny’, doesn’t get you up dancing round the room, then I don’t know what will. It’s a 16-minute-long banger and is a perfect finish to a truly excellent album.

‘Turn to Earth’ is a sonic journey that captivates from start to finish. Carlton Melton have shown once again that they really are masters of creating music that transcends the ordinary.
