Astralasia Wind On Water

A new krautrock/motorik/Eastern-influenced LP + bonus 7" from one of the UKs best-loved festival bands. All copies come in a optical effect PVC outer sleeve. Limited-pressing clear vinyl So how come the mighty Astralasia are releasing an album of new tracks (plus two unreleased recordings from 2006) exclusively on Fruits de Mer Records? Well, it might have something to do with Marc Swordfishs love for vinyl, and Fruits de Mers love for krautrock and Astralasia. Vinyl comes with a black and white optical image card sleeve housed within a optical image pvc outer sleeve - so the images disappear when you put the two together. The album consists of two short and two long tracks, all instrumental, that recall the heady days of the German Brain label, bands such as Neu! And Yatha Sidhra spring to mind. The bonus single comprises another krautrock-inspired track (Continuim), which we just couldnt fit on the album, plus The Desert - a stunning, Spaghetti western meets Mad Max one-off, or something like that.
