Psummer's Psychedelic Psoundtrack

Hail Voyagers! Once more 'round the Sun and we've arrived back where we belong! And, once again, we're here to bring you a psychedelic soundtrack to your Summer, 2012 style. I love each of the prior four volumes of this series in equal measure - like a parent, but make no mistake this is a precocious little edition.

Out of the gate running! Yes, a Sun Gate. Sixteen bands, five countries, all took up the challenge and have given us their time and talent to bring you this. I'm forever grateful and hope you are, too. Let 'em know, in your own way, either via a comment here or direct contact via other means. Appreciation goes a long way.

So, before the Solstice settles on Europa and the Isle just west, let's on with it!


Here now are the bands we give our biggest Solstice salute to, in tracklist order:

01 - Eastern Magnetics - Albar Nobel Guardian (Reprise) [Toronto,Canada]

Wow! This looks fantastic, but the download link is now dead. Is there any chance that you could re-upload this, please? I'm a bit late for supper it seems, but I'm still hungry! I really enjoyed the one you did in 2010.
