Attended release show for Astra's new album, The Black Chord (CD: Metal Blade, LP: Rise Above). Awesome mostly instrumental heavy shredding psychedelic/neo-prog with mellotron, multiple synths, double neck guitars, liquid light show, green fog. Nods to Yes, Floyd, probably others I don't know, while remaining their own. Dead Meadow played too. Album and show are/were awesome. I really need to buy a good portable digital recorder.
