"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."

"Beyond. Not of this planet. Asymmetrical, atonal, cold, and yet in perfect harmony with itself. Created over a span of three years in collaboration with Mr. Blake Fleming, the drummer extraordinaire behind bands like Laddio Bolocko, The Mars Volta, and many more, Omega is brutal and driving, mystical and out of this world. A suitable end to the The Death and Resurrection of Krautrock trilogy. It's time to abandon this planet and let music speak for itself. The Last Lord Of Atlantis Seven That Spells was formed by Niko Potocnjak in 2003. The band was initially formed as a power trio, and over the years more than 60 musicians contributed to live performances and recordings. In 2009 bassist Jeremy White joined the band and has since become its second core member. The band has gained an underground following and enjoyed some great events in recent years a tour of Japan in 2008, a gig at the Roadburn Festival in 2009, and at the Duna Jam festival 2010 & 2012. Omega is the 12th album in the Seven That Spells history, and the last album in the Death and Resurrection of Krautrock trilogy!"

"Cobra Family Picnic have been their reputation as one of Tucson, Arizona's premier psychedelic exports for the last three years, sharing stages with critically acclaimed bands such as Moon Duo, White Manna, The Myrrors, and Mugstar, and releasing a wonderful debut EP back in 2015. Originally formed by bassist Boyd Peterson and keyboardist Lesli Wood, the band has mined a rich vein of mantric, rhythmically-focused space rock that would have had heads bobbing at the Dom in '66 or Ibiza in '88, a sound that has perhaps reached its apex in their new, debut full-length, Magnetic Anomaly. Over the album's forty-seven-odd minutes, Cobra Family Picnic create a fuzzy, blissed-out haze that touches on an entire encyclopedia of underground psychedelia: the trance-inducing keys of Suicide, the post-Velvets go-go freakout of Les Rallizes Denudes, the smoky snake-song of early Doors, the pulsating locked grooves of Neu. We're talking nine mind-fried cuts of cyclical psychedelic minimalist jams, and when the NASA radio transmissions beam in across the grooves and Randall Dempsey's echo-drenched vocals rend the darkness, you can start to feel your brain being teleported to the outer reaches of the universe."

"4 tracks, which pack a punch and which went a long way to become what they are now. The oldest tune 'Stardust (The Picture)' was already recorded in 2014 and was released as instrumental version on 2 live albums so far. But it got refined with overdubs like vocals and stuff, like all the other tracks, too. This is one of the things which make the difference between live albums and studio albums, by the way; like also, that improvisation and songwriting get mixed-up! Stardust Rituals is painting a journey through the inner cosmos and wants to deliver the insight, that no-one and nothing gets ever lost, because space is like a jar which keeps us all, in which form ever... We're all made of stardust so nothing can happen in the end... Trippy like always, Electric Moon will carry you off on a trip to the deepest depths of the outermost innermost, cause in every one of us is a cosmos and we all are together on this common journey, in the same (space-)ship... Recorded, mixed and produced by Sula Bassana (Dave Schmidt) and mastered by Eroc! The beautiful round Cover-Painting was painted by Eriko of Mont Doom Design in Italy and Lulu Artwork! just brought it to shape for the final design and layout."
