"Sulatron Records is happy and proud to release the tenth album by UK's kultband Sun Dial! Sun Dial is the vehicle of guitarist and singer Gary Ramon, who started recording in the eighties as The Modern Art. He changed the name to Sun Dial when forming his live band in 1990. The new album Messages From The Mothership takes its inspiration from Gary Ramon catching sight of a UFO in desolate marshland at the age of fourteen. This gives way to a theme throughout which is especially prevalent on side two. There are elements of Pink Floyd, King Crimson, and Hawkwind but the album has all the elements of Sun Dial's Other Way Out and those in the know are calling it their best work since then. After Sulatron released some Krautrock influenced albums by Sun Dial (and the spaced-out Quad album, Gary's old sideproject) it's back to guitar-psych and the tracks have Gary's unmistakable vocal and guitar work interspersed with 'Hammond,' 'Mellotron,' and various rare keyboards. His astonishingly intricate soloing sounds like a man possessed by an otherworldly force. Messages From The Mothership is a focused but 'out there' album which will please Sun Dial fans and surely win them a generation of new followers. CD in four-page digifile. CD includes a, aural easter egg."

LP version. "Sun Dial were founded 1990 by multi-instrumentalist Gary Ramon who also plays in several other bands and projects. He also runs the well known Acme-Records label. This new album is a great follower to their last album Made in the Machine, which was very much in the electronic-rock direction. Science Fiction is an even more electronic album, the songs are shorter but supercatchy. Over the years Sun Dial's catalogue has been in demand for various film and television soundtracks such as the acclaimed horror film 'Helen Alone' and documentaries on the history of the CIA/Vietnam/MK ULTRA. Of special interest to the band has been the music of Sci Fi and Space on celluloid such as 'THX 1138', '2001: A Space Odyssey' and 'Blade Runner.' Now, in a project spanning more than 20 years, Sun Dial have fulfilled a long term plan to release a collection of unreleased Space themed soundtracks."

"Here comes a release of one of the neo-psychedelic cult bands from UK: Sun Dial! Founded 1990 by multi-instrumentalist Gary Ramon who also plays in several other bands and projects. He also runs the well-known Acme-records label. Sun Dial's debut album Other Way Out was a true impact in the psychedelic music scene and is still a highly rated album! Now here's the release of their 2012 album Mind Control for the first time on CD, including two bonus tracks, from the same recording sessions, which fit into the album perfectly! What you get is a blend of long psychedelic tripping guitars, krautrock, and electronic wizardry."
