about

Tracks 7 & 12 originally released on Pathway to the Stars (ASTRAL001). Tracks 8, 10 & 16 originally released on Inside the Space Cabin (ASTRAL002). Track 9 originally released on In Orbit (ASTRAL003). Tracks 2 & 11 originally released on Electronic Vol 4 (ASTRAL004). Track 5 originally released on Psych Against Cancer Vol 2. All the rest of the tracks are previously unreleased.

This is not a best of but not a totally new album either so hence the name: The Chosen Ones. I wanted to gather some of the best (and maybe most approachable…) tracks from the first four Bandcamp releases for proper CD and add nine unreleased gems I love for more colour… Thanks to everyone who helped! So, here we go, I hope you enjoy the ride!
