THE VOICE...
Giles has been working with astralasia for the past six years and features on the
releases below.
He has also been working on his own projects in this time and developing his skills
as a songwriter and producer in his own right.
A new album ”Into Aquarius - prophets for a new world age” is now complete, which
features sound-bites from leading edge quantum thinkers including Gregg Braden ,
Bruce Lipton and Caiseal Mor.
return to format for astralasia, with a new release on tonefloat...
on a coloured in dream, they are now presenting their most ambitious work yet. the
side-spanning title track alone runs through various permutations of an ecstatic
beat, eventually taking on board a cosmic guitar solo before slowly fading into an
expansive ambient-sequence mirroring the opening bars of pink floyd's sheep and combining
it with a meditative sax solo. after a string of more openly vocal-oriented albums,
a coloured in dream, returns to the band's roots, with the entire second side dedicated
to dark and mysterious states between waking and dreaming, between ambient and space-jazz,
between black-hole-rock and a total sonic brain-meltdown. and attentive listeners
will even be able to detect the return of the infamous voyage 34 sample that introduced
the band to the world almost twenty years ago.

astralasia are a magnificent blend of ambient-dub and tribal house and a few other
influences thrown in for good measure.

long awaited by fans...
This is an album that defies genres and re-affirms Astralasia's place at the cutting
edge of the technological event horizon. Heavily laced with groundbreaking styles
(of) Shamanic depth (that) will take you on a kaleidoscopic voyage to the depths
of the technicolour dreamscape of your mind!!!!...........With contributions from
Simon House and others, including Paul Chousmer & Another Green World, this album
promises a diversity and range of organic live sounds to compliment the computer
wizardry and genius of Swordfish.

wisdom to as many ears as possible!! Believe. Feel . Love and be loved. The mighty
wheel spins. Rejoice.
