180 gram blue vinyl in gatefold sleeve. Originally founded as a dub-oriented side-project to the UK's legendary psychedelic rock-ensemble Magic Mushroom Band, Astralasia have quickly gone on to outlive and creatively outflank their former mothership. The group's music is a high-energy concoction of trance-infused electronic wizardry, intoxicating live-grooves and well-chilled moments of sheer sonic bliss. In 1993, the project garnered international attention thanks to their classic remix of Porcupine Tree's breakthrough track "Voyage 34" and since then, the six-piece have never ceased to further develop and refine their sound. On "A Coloured In Dream", they now present their most ambitious work yet. The side-spanning title track alone runs through various permutations of an ecstatic beat, eventually taking on board a cosmic guitar solo before slowly fading into an expansive ambient-sequence mirroring the opening bars of Pink Floyd's "Sheep" and combining it with a meditative sax solo. After a string of more openly vocal-oriented albums, "A Coloured In Dream", returns to the band's roots, with the entire second side dedicated to dark and mysterious states between waking and dreaming, between ambient and space-jazz, between black-hole-rock and a total sonic brain-meltdown. And attentive listeners will even be able to detect the return of the infamous "Voyage 34" sample that introduced the band to the world almost twenty years ago.
