Astral Magic: Kill the extra time and get seriously into home-recording.

Lord Of Space is the new album from the Finnish psychologic space prog band Astral Magic. The band offers music full of energy and power and a exciting sonic adventure and lots of spacey and very nice effects.

Dark Sun and the Rising Telepaths was a Finnish psychedelic space rock band formed in 1991. The band went on hiatus in 2007 but some releases have turned up afterwards. Then suddenly Dark Sun bass player Santtu Laakso (also known as Dj Astro!) started a new solo project called Astral Magic! During the covid-19 lockdown the idea came from the stars to do something creative to kill the extra time and get seriously into home-recording.

Santtu plays everything by himself but some guests have been called in to help on guitar etc. Musical styles vary from electronic/ambient/experimental to heavy space rock, kraut, psych rock, prog and even pop.
