"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."
