I wasn't aware of Electric Eye prior to this album, so I don't know how the debut sounded (I intend to find out at some point). The dominant impression after a handful of casual listens, is that Different Sun is fragilely split between drone/psych and less-psych-somewhat-pop-rock instances. The former are delight to delve to, while the latter... not so much. Favourite track(s): All Of This Has Happened Before And Will Happen Again, Heavy Steps On Desert Floor.

Electric Eye's Different Sun is a solid Psych Rock album with some spacey elements throw in for good measure. It might suffice as a great hommage to the 60s and some of the 70s but it really ends up coming off as been-done-before. Ironically the best track, Mercury Rise, literally sounds like I have heard it a thousand times before but damn is it catchy. Beyond that Silent by the River is the only other track that really stands out. Production is one of the best parts of this one and they really do a good job capturing a spacey atmosphere while integrating many different tracks. Good album with a few shining moments but nothing to hook the listener.
