ASTRAL WAVES - Magnetique

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2016/02/astral-waves-magnetique.html

The head of Altar Records remains a fairly consistent producer to this day, which is never a bad thing in this biz'. Wish I could say I've returned to this album of his more often tho'.

NEW REVIEW!

Various - OPUS IRIDIUM

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2026/01/various-opus-iridium.html

One CD of your familiar neo-goa from Suntrip, plus a second CD of music more suited for the premiere psy-chill labels of that era. You know the ones.

Various - FALL

Heh, me nitpicking the 'overfamiliarity' of Altar Records' output has a familiar ring to it, doesn't it.

EAT STATIC - Dead Planet

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2016/01/eat-static-dead-planet.html

I ended that review claiming this double-LP was worth the investment in getting. Now that the CD's long out of print and on the collector's market, I wonder...?

*checks Discogs* Hah, wow, it's now the 14th most expensive, non box-set item in my collection. Maybe most should stick with digital.
