The latest Astral Magic news

 Some cool Astral Magic news! First of all, the latest releases include a limited edition factory-made CD-R of the latest Astral Magic album In Space We Trust! I'm really happy with how it turned up. Get it from:

astralmagic.bandcamp.com/album/in-space-we-trust 

Another recent, Astral Magic related release is Feed My Soul, a debut album by our project Chakra Vimana. It is out on the excellent Tonzonen Records from Germany on coloured LP and CD, both limited to 300 copies. Available from all good psych stores and mail-order companies! Also of course directly from the label and from Chakra Vimana, Herd of Instinct (US/Canada/Mexico) and Astral Magic (EU/UK) Bandcamp pages.

The latest release on Astral Magic Music is the digital Astral Magic Remixes II single of two tracks from the forth-coming Strange Vibrations album (out 1st of August). Check them out here!

Astral Magic has started to work with elasticStage, an on-demand CD-R/lathe-cut company from the UK. I am really excited about the opportunity to make some stuff available this way! There are already 11 sold-out, rare CD-R albums in better packaging available again form the elasticStage Astral Magic page:

The next phase will see the vinyl releases of In Space We Trust,  Black Floyd's Trinity (also CD-R coming up), Wonderland and Dance of Destiny. Also some other old albums will be available on LP as soon as we get them mastered for vinyl and artwork modified as well. How cool is that?

Urtidsdjur - Fågelsånger

 Self-released (DRR003LP)

 


 Urtidsdjur is a Swedish folk/prog/psych/retro rock band from Uppsala. I have reviewed their eponomos LP in 2020. This new album released on limited edition vinyl, 60 black and 40 red(ish). All come with cool, hand-marbled and hand-numbered covers making them all different. Very nice touch!

The debut album was very much influenced by Neil Young and this is pretty much still the case. But there are also some other vibes and the band has matured and progressed a lot. There is also some violin and saxophone as well as Moog, so the sound is rather varied and interesting. The te tracks flow fluently into each other forming an organic whole. The music is very pleasant and I like the vocals that are in Swedish. Some songs are a bit heavier , some more folk orieted. Playing and production is excellent too so I do really like this album. Give it a try!
