Astral Magic is always dependable for producing cool space rock. This latest release continues that tradition. The sound is enhanced by the addition of the voice of Bridget Wishart. The music here is exactly the kind of potent space rock one expects from Astral Magic. There are two bonus tracks with the vocals being provided by Astral Magic mastermind Santtu Laakso. This is highly recommended to fans of all things space rock.

At nearly 19-minutes of music, this is the epic of the set. It starts building gradually with some great electronic prog sounds. The track shifts and changes as it continues. The vocals deliver charm and drama. After the five-minute-mark, come cool melodic guitar solos among the mix. This jam continues to shift and evolve. Like most space rock, the changes are on the gradual side. It gets pretty trippy at times. That's particularly true around the halfway mark when it turns much spacier. It gets into a more melodic jam that feels somewhat thoughtful as it comes out of there. This turns more rocking and the vocals return around the 14-minute mark. It turns toward trippy, mellower space later.

This pounds in with some of the hardest rocking stuff we've heard on the album. The vocals call to mind Lemmy's work in Hawkwind, and this song definitely has a Hawkwind sort of feeling to it.
