The Preservation label presents Lucid Thought, the second full-length album from California's Deep Magic. Deep Magic is the solo project of Alex Gray, who currently plays in tropical-psych jam team Sun Araw and has also contributed to works by Pocahaunted and Black Eagle Child. Since releasing his debut album Solar Meditations for cult label Not Not Fun, Alex has since gone on to record a number of longform pieces, mainly on small cassette releases including for his own Deep Tapes label in his creation of sonic states of heightened awareness. The panoramic, lyrical atmospheres on Lucid Thought shine in widescreen, filled with complex, cosmic tableaus cut by zones of ambience, dub filters and folk reverie. Evocative and sun-bleached instrumentation of finger-picked guitar, synth, percussion, various keyboards and vocal tones lift Lucid Thought into a euphoric state glowing with microtonal melodies and continually-shifting, shimmering waves of psychedelia. This is bliss in delirium, ecstatically executed with true focus and clarity of purpose. Lucid Thought was mastered by fellow celestial traveller, Sean McCann. Lucid Thought is the third work in a new limited edition CD series from Preservation called Circa. Only 300 copies of each release in the series will be available and will feature a design by Mark Gowing. Each design for 2011 will be realized using a specially-created abstract alphabet of shapes, determined by artist, title and catalog number for something both fixed and random.
