The CD also features an extensive band history in the 20 page booklet written by Richard.

Astralasia release new EP featuring the brand new 'Happy Song' based around the riff of the 1960's classic 'Georgy Girl' plus 4 other tracks too!
The EP is entitled the Cheesy EP as it features five tracks of fun and uplifting music. Some are new, some are not so new.
Marc Swordfish commented - "I always like to experiment in music working on many different styles. I'd created 'Happy Song' as a bit of fun and thought this didn't quite fit in to the new albums that I am working on. However I played it to a number of people who thought it was great and said that it should be released. So I thought I'd put it on an EP and combine it with some other fun one-off tracks, hence the name - Cheesy EP".
The release date is 24th June 2016. Order your copy here.
In 2014 Astralasia were approached by vinyl only label, Fruits De Mer Records, to produce an album of new music for a limited vinyl release. This release gained great press reviews and radio play and soon sold out and is currently unavailable. Due to incredible demand and soaring prices on Ebay of the now rare vinyl edition, Magick Eye Records is now releasing a digipak CD and digital edition.
The album consists of six tracks, some short and some long with an incredible mix of space and kraut rock combined with ambient, electro, prog and psychedelia. The album also includes 'The Desert', a track that has already been gaining interest from radio play and You Tube with it's stunning, spaghetti western meets Mad Max feel.
The album release date is 10th July, but it is available to pre-order on our website now.
We are pleased to announce that we are now working with Nova Music Distributionwhich means that many of our releases will now be easier to get hold of on digital and physical product stores.

The classic UVX debut album 'Double Helix' will be released for download and streaming on June 8th. In the meantime it is still available on CD and vinyl from the Magick Eye store. Here's what UVX said recently about recording the album:-
"We called the album Double Helix because we wrote most of it while living in a shared house on Helix Road in Brixton, while watching Star Wars and playing Nintendo. The cover was designed by the artist Bruno Martelli using a microscopic image of the inside of a human artery. There is new material in the pipeline from UVX, so please like our Facebook page."

To launch the series 'Astralasia' have produced an incredible 4 track EP - 'Feel The Love' - for release in Feb.
Astralasia's first gig of 2013 is coming up on Saturday 26th January at Hebden Bridge Trades Club. They have also been confirmed in the line up at Sonic Rock Solstice in June 2013.
Well would you believe it? Itunes have rejected Astralasia's 'White Bird' album claiming that the cover artwork is too explicit! This will cause a temporary delay in the digital release whilst the censored artwork is resubmitted but it should be available by Nov 26th. In the meantime the full shocking explicit :) artwork is currently available on the CD & vinyl.
Both will be available on iTunes, Spotify and other digital sites.
The next two albums from the catalogue are ready for digital release! 'Re-Hash' by Magic Mushroom Band on Nov 12th and 'White Bird' by Astralasia on Nov 19th.
Both will be available on iTunes, Spotify and other digital sites.

Children Of Dub came to prominence with their live performances at legendary club nights such as Whirl-y-gig and Megatripolis. Their music comprises elements of ambient, house, drum 'n' bass, trance, reggae and trip hop with a host of other influences such as jazz, classical and indian folk music. Now all of the Children Of Dub albums released on Magick Eye will be made available to download during April. Release dates are Chameleon - April 2, ESP - April 16, Digital Mantras - April 30.
Anyone who witnessed the live performances by Cybernaut at clubs and venues such as Escape From Samsara will attest to the fact that Cybernaut live were an incredible uplifting experience.
Following the release of some excellent 12" singles Cybernaut signed to Magick Eye Records and released the incredible 'Hydrophonics' album on CD. Recently Magick Eye included the track 'Hydrophonix' on their digital only compilation 'Magick Eye Revisitation'.
The Cybernaut track was one of the most popular tracks on the 'Magick Eye Revisitation' album and so the full album will now be available to download. The album captures the Cybernaut sound perfectly. If you like your trance hard, fast, uplifting and with melody this is for you.
The album was Cybernaut's only full album release and all the tracks here including 'Califrae' & 'Hydrophonix' still sound stunning.
Over the years Astralasia have built up a huge following worldwide as pioneers in trance, psych, dub, chill and more.
A few years ago they decided to have a bit of fun and record a fun trance Christmas single. So they took some of their uplifting trance sounds and added sleigh bells, singing children and even a rap to produce this seasonal party anthem, 'Snowman'.
This single has never been available before as a download and features the full 'Nasal Red Mix' plus a radio friendly edit version. The single also features a rare mix of 'Your Calling' , the original of which was featured on the band's 'White Bird' album, and is an uplifting dancefloor anthem.
"Hear Where It All Started! - On 18th Nov 1991 Magick Eye Records released its first ever Astralasia single - "Rhythm Of Life". This sold out years ago, so 20 years later on 18th Nov 2011 it is being re-released as a digital download, available from all good digital stores."
"Hear Where It All Started! - On 4th Nov 1991 the first ever Magick Eye Records release appeared - it was the "Pictures In My Mind" single by The Magic Mushroom Band. So 20 years later on 4th Nov 2011 you can hear where it all began for Magick Eye with original copies of the CD and 12" available together with a digital release on all good digital stores."
This year Magick Eye celebrates it's first 20 years! We thought we'd do something different to start off some special releases and events to celebrate. We've never released a digital album so we put this one together to showcase a flavour of what Magick Eye is about.
