Labyrinth Of Light - Secret Chiefs 3: UR

Secret Chiefs 3: UR - Labyrinth Of Light

This is what it’s all about. From the amazing cover art to the faux-live audience noise, this is a singular gem in the ever-magnificent and impossible to over-state conceptual artistry that is the career of SC3. Released a few years ago as part of a series of 7”s dedicated to SC3’s “satellite” or alter-ego bands (the sleeve of which was fabulously “aged” as this was, of course, recorded live during one of UR’s legendary European tours in the 70s), this track is backed with the equally awesome Circumambulation. Also available on Satellite Supersonic Vol. 1, a collection of (most of) the music released by the satellite bands. Super epic organ-driven progtacular surf rock with some mystical funk & analog synth for you - get it!

Through The Valley - Sinoia Caves

Sinoia Caves - Through The Valley

Beautiful analog synthscapes from Jeremy Schmidt (Black Mountain). Sort of like being in outer space and at the bottom of the ocean simultaneously. ‘Cause I totally know what that feels like.

Astronomy Domine - Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd - Astronomy Domine

Lime and limpid green a second scene,

A fight between the blue you once knew.

Floating down the sound resounds around the icy waters underground

Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania

Neptune, Titan, Stars can frighten
