"In a certain sense, SIMA is a natural result of the evolutionary development of the participants of THE HUMAN MACHINE (Jake Ingalls, Jon Model and Patrick Whitehill) whose vector is directed from song-structured neo-psychedelia to more open, improvisational and instrumental forms of psychedelic music. And in a wide enough stylistic spectrum: “Aegean Flight (i)” has a direct relation to synth ambient and space-age; “Aegean Flight (ii)” - to the tradition of motorcycle Krautrok; the title “Key to the Sun” and both parts of “Helios' Wrath” are a textbook improv-space-trip-rock. Musicians play thoughtfully, gently, atmospheric, bringing a fair amount of mystery and mystery into the context of their improvisations. And in the last third of the album, this mystery unexpectedly acquires a rather gloomy and even threatening character.

However, no outrageous and frequency noise-extreme, as in the case of the records of the Yukon Territorial Expansion - the music of the new project is very close in spirit to the last work I liked The Human Machine. I would say that in the aggregate of all the presented tracks “Key to the Sun” is heard perfectly, offering a rather intriguing picture of the inner states of the psyche, which found expression in the improvised music playing SIMA. Subjectively, this is the best of what can be found in the back-catalog of the participants of the young California association known to me. So, if the improv-instrumental space-kraut of psychedelia is close to you, be sure to listen."
