Independent music publishing house MASCHINA RECORDS presents another release from the “Anthology of Gr. New Composers". This time we present a reissue of the band's classic album, released in Finland in 1996. This album is rightfully considered the band’s most famous release worldwide. According to music critics, the album received the title of best ambient album of the first half of 1996.
But only today, 20 years after the official release, the album will see the light in the form in which the authors conceived it back in 1996. You can read in detail about the history of the creation of the album in the booklet of our publication. We will only lift the veil of secrecy.
Released in Finland in 1996, the album was essentially a promotional recording and was planned for re-mixing and re-release on a major major label. The musicians prepared an extended version of the album with some additional parts and even tracks, but fate decreed otherwise and it was not possible to release a full version of the ASTRA album. For our publication, we used multi-channel master tapes prepared back in 1996. The album received new mixing and mastering under the strict supervision of Valery Alahov. The tracks played more interestingly and more transparently, and the stereo image was fully revealed. The lost track “Stereo Effect” appeared in the album’s track list.
Many people do not know that the original Finnish edition of the disc came with a 1993 Bank of Russia banknote, rolled into a tube and hidden under the disc tray.
