Around the Corner (8:35) order in Hamburg-Germany or Portugal This is the 3rd album release from the very successful 2014 studio session. The music presented in a 2LP gatefold or single CD and was recorded by a very special group of musicians from Sweden and Norway (plus Dr Space-Denmark) at the Black Tornado Studio in Copenhagen. The members are from a wide variety of bands including Tangle Edge, Agusa, Camper Van Beethoven, My brother the Wind, Gösta Berlings Saga and Ex-Siena Root. The opening track is a quite intense 42min journey called 'Visions Of'. 'Around the Corner', inspired by mid 72-75s Miles Davis, is a fantastic funk-rock jam session. 'Piece of Seven' is a more experimental piece of music and is an excerpt of what was called Jam 7. The final number, 'Above the Corner', was the 2nd and totally different part of the funk jam. It features a fantastic guitar solo by Jonathan. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SISTA MAJ - Series Of Nested Universes SRP037 Release date: 2nd December 2016 |
 2CD - 4-sided digisleeve - ltd. edt. 500 copies CD 1: 1. Peony Spies (6:39) 2. Secret Cave, Secret Rat (10:30) 3. Which, in Turn, Falls (13:59) 4. A Very Heavy Feather (25:40) CD 2: 1. Series of Nested Universes (10:52) 2. Like a Diamond in This Guy (11:36) 3. It Never Ends (17:19) 4. Bones of Steel (16:13) order here Hamburg-Germany or here Sweden “Sista Maj” is colloquial Swedish for “the last day of May” Literally, it’s “final May,” which leaves the potential meaning that it may be the last May…ever. The last day of May 2015 happened to be the first time that these three Stockholm musicians played together. They had played in other constellations before, but this started a new group: Sista Maj. Mikael Tuominen comes from ‘Kungens Män’, a post-rock instrumental psychedelic band. In this band, he played guitar, though he played bass, his first instrument, when he met Jonathan playing together in a composed/improvised group led by Einar Baldursson (Gösta Berlings Saga) for a few specific concerts in Stockholm. Andreas Axelsson plays mostly in jazz and post-jazz improv and avant-garde groups, such as Lisa Ullén’s Group. Mikael recommended him to Jonathan for a recording session intended for a record of songs and improvisations that Jonathan was working on. Jonathan Segel, an American ex-pat in Stockholm, has been playing violin, guitar and keyboards with numerous bands over the past 35 years, most notably the continuing Camper Van Beethoven as well as his own projects which span the genre-worlds of psychedelia, improvisation, prog rock, Americana, electronica and avant-garde. The pieces range from jazzy (Peony Spies) to electric intense (A Very Heavy Feather), from funky and weird (It Never Ends) to hypnotic (Series of Nested Universes), jam (Like a Diamond in This Guy) to space (Bones of Steel.) The album has an overall dark mood, another unexpected turn, but one that only adds to the heavy nature of the music. |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ØRESUND SPACE COLLECTIVE - Give Your Brain A Rest From The Matrix SRP039 Release date: 3rd November 2016 |
 2LP - 180g - gatefold - poster (A2) - hand numbered ltd. edt. 500 copies total: 200x black - 180x blue - 120x green Side A: 1. Give Your Brain A Rest From The Matrix (24:45) Side B: 1. Mainstream Is The New Acid (14:02) 2. Step Into The Other World (9:10) Side C: 1. Cerebral Massage Part One (19:36) Side D: 1. Cerebral Massage Part Two (7:51) 2. Jam 12 (10:17) (vinyl only bonus track) order in Hamburg-Germany or Portugal The material for this album was created on Sunday Sept. 26th 2010 and was released on a ltd. edt. CD digipack in September 2012. Now finally it comes out on vinyl. This is the same studio session that 'Entering into the Space Country' and 'Phaze your Fears' LPs were recorded but this was the last of 3 days in the studio. Claus Bøhling returned and Johan (First Band From Outer Space) had to leave early. Four out of the five pieces of music feature the sitar playing of KG from Siena Root. The material on this album is of a more relaxed and psychedelic nature with some fantastic guitar playing. Dr Space decided on the name, which Michael, bass player in Mantric Muse and former OSC bass player came up with, based on that here in Denmark, most people exist connected to the internet matrix nearly all the time with their "smart" phone in their hand all the time and headphones plugged in blocking out the real world. We hope you will enjoy this relaxing journey back or forward in time as you relax and give your brain a rest from the matrix! |

Time Compression (5:00) order here Hamburg-Germany or Portugal On Dec 4-6th, West, Space and Love gathered together for their first sessions together since the last one back in October 2009. This session was less improvised but recorded in several improvised layers with a few special guests joining in as well. The music is much more synthesizer based with KG playing amazing 70s inspired synths and organ, as well as bass, guitar, and sitar. Dr Space creating spacey sounds and drones, while Love performed a spoken word, and providing all the drum and percussion parts. The addition of Violin and Santoor really took the two Indian inspired pieces (Khan Paan, Øscilations in D-Minor) to another level. A fantastic instrumental, Kraut inspired ethnic musical journey! |

It is the same studio where all of the bands studio releases have been made. The line up on this recording session included Mogens and Dr Space on synthesizers as it has been on all the releases as well as all the members of the Danish band Papir (Kristoffer - drums, Nicklas - guitar, Christian - bass (only on Neptune Rising). In addition, Pär from the bands Sgt. Sunshine, Carpet Knights, Hoofoot played the bass. The line-up was completely by American guitar player Daniel Lars. This was his first trip ever to Denmark and playing with the Øresund Space Collective. ... The sessions were heavily guitar dominated as was the last studio session from 2010 but the level of solo intensity was lifted up a notch as Daniel (American guitar player) and Nicklas lay down some amazing melodic, spacey and ripping guitar on these exploratory tracks. Besides the opening track "Walking On Clouds" (a Daniel original, which we jammed on), the rest of the tracks were totally improvised. This album was originally released on Vinyl in 2013. This CD contains a bonus track. |

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ØRESUND SPACE COLLECTIVE - Ode To A Black Hole SRP033 Release date: 10th May 2016 |
 LP - 180g - gatefold - hand numbered ltd. edt. 500 copies total: 200x black - 200x magenta - 100x purple Side A: 1. Ode To A Black Hole (25:59) Side B: 2.

Ode To A Black Hole (52:05) order in Hamburg-Germany or Portugal 'Ode To A Black Hole’ is a 52min doom drone jam that was recorded on the last day of the Different Creatures recording session in October 2014. It features the same line up of the band. This is a totally unique piece of ØSC music and they have never recorded a piece quite like it. It is very inspired by listening to the UK band BONG, the morning before heading over to the studio. It is a very slow evolving piece of music with synth drones, violin, pedal steel, minimal bass and slow emotional drums. After about 40mins the piece becomes quite heavy until the spaced out end... Recorded at the Black Tornado Studio, Copenhagen Oct 2014. Engineer Lars Lundholm. Mixed by Dr Space at the Space Station Studios CPH, Denmark. |
