Am I Dreaming?‘ is the 2023 album by the very prolific Finnish psych/space/kraut project Astral Magic that has been channelling psychedelic and spacey music from other dimensions since March 2020. This time the inspiration came from late ‘60s/early ‘70s psych/garage/prog rock (think early Floyd, Stones, The Beatles, 13th Floor Elevators, The Byrds, The Who, The Zombies, Hawkwind etc.). As usual, Santtu Laakso (ex-Dark Sun) got help from international cast of psych rock veterans like for example Dr. Koch from Vibravoid who also made the cover design! This very cool sounding album was recorded 2020-2021 in Finland, Germany, UK and USA. The high quality 140g LP‘s were pressed at the new plant Helsingin Levypuristamo, the first one in Finland for almost 30 years. Limited to 200 copies on black vinyl. Psychonauts: Santtu Laakso: vocals, bass, electric and acoustic guitar, synthesizers, percussion, all music, lyrics, production and mixing, Dr. Koch (Vibravoid): guitar, mastering, cover design, Jay Tausig (Chromium Hawk Machine): drums, Gregory Curvey (The Luck Of Eden Hall, Custard Flux): guitar, Fred Laird (Earthling Society etc.): guitar, Jaire Pätäri (Octopus Syng): guitar, Perttu Lindberg (Lossi T & Juoksut): drums and Jasmin Anglén (White Mist): narration.
