Astralasia - Astralogy

A retrospective of Astralasia's work from 1991 to 1994.

"Rhythm Of Life" the first single recorded with the barest of equipment.- a D10, Steam Powered Akai S612 with accompaniment of Bones's lead guitar and a couple of loops mastered on a valve 1/4° tape machine.

"Utopia" this was supposed to be the next Single but we changed our minds. The other track "The Better Place" became Hashishin and was released later. We did do a couple of 12" Promo's

"Realise Your Purpose" the message: It had to be used regardless of the speakers original motives still poignant today and allways will be. We've go to stand and be counted for change happen.

"Celestial Ocean" the fifth dimension, the space between is The Celestial Ocean. It's best to take a guide on earlier voyages.

"Sul-E-Stomp" (featuring Suns Of Arqa) an idea that came from Wadada an myself while sitting on the lawn at Gaunts House in the middle of summer as some sort of fusion for the folk and the rave scene - it seems to have caught on.

"Mad" a first attempt at somekinda techno track which was inspired by all those crazy Belgium tracks that do your head in, absolutely mad - but watch out the straight ones are worse.

"Unveria Zekt" an offering really and homage to a very misunderstood and neglected genius Christian Vander and is band Magma - a live concert can only be described as awesome check out Khontarkoz 1+2 - Perhaps not to everyone's taste though.

"Hashishin" the Whirlygig Anthem, the better place is Whirlygig, our home and our friends - (Hash-is-h-in) not to be confused with the assassins of Alah.

"Mother Durga" an inspiration from the Goddess and our continuing message of positive conciousness to issues in the biosphere and others - this is an alternative mix to the LP and Single mixes.

"Seventh Wander" from the latest EP and on to the future.
