“WELTRAUM have been founded in 1999 as a psychedelic jam band. Until then a lot of musicians joined the project. They recorded several meetings to find the ultimate way to celebrate sessions without any laws and borders… WELTRAUM are highly recommended to fans of mind-blowing spaced out music.”
Pyramidal – Dawn in Space (2012)
“Pyramidal is a Psychedelic / Space-Rock band from Alicante, Spain. Their influences come from progressive and hard rock bands of the 70s such as Hawkwind, Can, Black Sabbath, Amon Duul II, Captain Beyond or Ash Ra Tempel. Born in 2010, Pyramidal’s members have a long career within the hard rock, stoner and psychedelic music scene.”
Tsurubami – Gekkyukekkaichi (2003)
“Tsurubami is yet another side project by the prolific Acid Mothers Temple guitarist Makoto Kawabata, with Temple bassist Hiroshi Higashi and drummer Emi Nobuko… Here are squalling guitars, over-driven basses, feedback, and cacophonous noise. In the maelstrom, which is utter and total, shifting overtones and subtleties are rained on the listener with alarming frequency — and they are heard whether the volume is high or low — creating another layer of density to an already impossible textured quilt of color and amplitude.”
Dark Sun – A Journey Through Space (2011)
Lo-fi studio jams by Finnish psychedelic space rock band Dark Sun. Recommended for astral travellers.

“ALIEN PLANETSCAPES was the brainchild of space rock veteran Doug Walker who unfortunately died of a heart attack in April 2006. The New York based musician has been a prolific keyboarder with a jazz background showing interest in using an experimental instrumentation consisting of synthesizer and other electronics… ALIEN PLANETSCAPES was founded in 1981 then based on an experimental approach with elements of improvisational rock, free jazz and the Berlin School electronic music represented by Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel.”
