The Hidden Way, Rare and Unreleased

by Astral Magic with Shane Beck

supported by

Christian Mumford excellent album got numbered CD-R Favorite track: Shiva’s Daydream.

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Heady lysergic and very very cosmic, an album to safely trip out to without fear of being taken to too many dark places Favorite track: Summoning of the Nameless One.

Reek Of STOOM An excellent collaboration fusing Psychedelia, Space rock and Ambience with Poetic narratives - not unlike Spirits Burning & Michael Moorcock!
