"Kundalini Express" rolls out of Express, the 1986 album by Love and Rockets, and it runs on exactly the momentum the title promises: Kevin Haskins' drums chugging like pistons, David J's bass locked on the rails, and Daniel Ash's guitar and saxophone whipping up the steam. The whole band shares the music credit, David J wrote the words, and Ash and David J split the vocals. They produced it themselves with John A. Rivers, and it comes out hypnotic, psychedelic and relentless, a trance you can dance to.
