Ad Astra by ACID ROOSTER
Ad Astra was recorded live in july 2020 in Acid Roosters private garden with a field recorder in front of a small audience of friends during the lockdown in the middle of the corona pandemic. The two long jams were the opening an the closing track of a completely improvised concert and are a spontanious snapshot of ACID ROOSTERS approach of free floating psychedelic music.

„Two 20-minute plus extended jams of Kosmische perfection.“ (The Ominous Drone)
„It's kind of somewhere that Ash Ra Tempel may have gone eventually if they'd continued long enough, had they eventually embraced the tonal mindset of freeform post rock.“ (AUDION no. 71 / Alan Freeman)
„(...) it's the sort of serene and meditative space rock that Brian Eno might have made, had the story seen him flee from Hawkwind rather than Roxy Music. (The Quietus)
„the way that Acid Rooster recorded their latest album is very much in the spirit of the Zodiac Club.“ (The Sleeping Shaman)
„I want to close my eyes and be in that place and time, to have lived this moment. Impossible, right? Couldn’t have happened. And yet some were there, or so I’m told. The rest of us have the LP, and that’s not nothing considering how evocative this music is, but the sheer aural therapy of that moment must have been a powerful experience indeed. Hard not to feel lucky even getting a glimpse.“ (The Obelisk)
„(...) everything is literally FLOATING! Experimental ambient blends with Cosmic Space music, (...)! A mind-expanding journey, indeed! All aficionados, step inside, and let it happen…“ (Time Machine Productions)
„Ahora mismo, y ni corto ni perezoso a la hora de decirlo, es posible que estemos ante una de las bazas más prometedoras del género actual, y con una carrera tan alarmantemente corta como promisoria. Los minutos reverberantes ondean como mariposas sobre nuestras cabezas, listas para inducirnos a la catarsis más próspera de Acid Rooster.“ (La Habitación 235)
„‘Ad Astra’ é um disco meditativo, letárgico e nirvânico que nos empoeira e cega de fuligem estelar. Uma desorientadora, reconfortante, sublimada e transformadora expedição com destino ao desconhecido e sem garantias de regresso.“ (El Coyote)
„Come si sarà certamente capito, non ci vuole molto per descrivere la musica degli Acid Rooster: pigiate play se volete contemplare l’orrore cosmico sulle rive del Reno.“ (The New Noise)
