Electric Free Time Machine -’Mystery with Hermit Foil’ – CD review and Album Launch

Review by Wes Martin

Electric Free Time Machine is a group of musicians with a truly eclectic sound. If we talk about genre defying, then this is the CD. Its a collection of stunning, inventive and captivating pieces.
