Aarktica - Ecstatic Lightsongs - VINYL LP

Limited 180gm silver colored vinyl LP pressing. Half speed master. The recordings are remastered by Jon Astley (The Who, Led Zeppelin, George Harrison & many others). UFO paved the way for British heavy metal and astounded fans back in 1970. The group was flash and showy on stage, but as their first album 'UFO 1' reveals, they had bags of energy and ideas in the studio too. Here is the early Psych-Space Rock sound of a group with a big future that would come to dominate the Seventies. This early version of UFO shows Phil Mogg (vocals) Pete Way (bass), Mick Bolton (guitar) and Andy Parker (drums) developing their unique space rock style with blues roots. 'Unidentified Flying Object' is a typical song of the period, showcasing Bolton's Hendrix influenced guitar and Mogg's intense vocals. Album Tracks 1. Unidentified Flying Object 2. Boogie 3. C'mon Everybody 4. Shake It About 5. Melinda 6. Timothy 7. Follow You Home 8. Treacle People 9. Who Do You Love 10. Evil

Double colored vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. 2022 . Aarktica is vocalist/guitarist Jon DeRosa. Jon has created a diverse catalog of music beginning in 1999, with the ambient guitar opus No Solace In Sleep (Silber). Since then DeRosa has traversed many musical styles in his primary vehicle, Aarktica and released several albums of darkly orchestral chamber pop under his own name, as well as two countrypolitan folk albums as Pale Horse and Rider. We Will Find the Light finds DeRosa at an intersection of influences and experience, and perhaps sounding the most at ease he's ever been, blending his affinity for ambient guitar soundscapes and understated dark folk into a cohesive work, which moves seamlessly through both melancholia and optimism. Within these songs we hear the influences of Leonard Cohen, This Mortal Coil and Nick Cave intermingling with those of minimalist composers like Ingram Marshall and ambient artists like Juliana Barwick and Steve Roach. Album Tracks 1. Like Embers 2. Can't Say I've Missed You 3. Celestial Transmission 4. Olha O Sol Que Vai Nascendo 5. Goodnight 6. A Quiet Place 7. Bridge of Fire 8. May It Be So 9. Delicate Waltz of Shadows 10. Sirenita Bobinsana 11. We Will Find the Light
