As we were coming up to our 20th anniversary
we thought we'd do something different to
start off some special releases and events
to celebrate. We'd never released a digital
album so we put this album together to
showcase a flavour of what Magick Eye is
about. Here's a copy of the press release:-
"The Magick Eye record label was formed in
the early nineties and rapidly became an
influential force in the underground dance,
trance, prog, psych, chill scene releasing
numerous critically acclaimed albums &
singles worldwide from artists including
Astralasia, Magic Mushroom Band, Children Of
Dub and others. An offshoot label, Chameleon
Records, was also formed to release music by
singer/songwriters.
As Magick Eye enters it's 20th year it is to
start making some of its classic releases
available digitally, many for the very first
time.
The first of these releases is a digital
compilation 'ReVisitation' showcasing some
of the wealth of the Magick Eye catalogue.
The album is a journey beginning with
Astralasia's classic 'Seven Pointed Star'
transformed into an incredible never
before available new vocal trance
version. The album then travels through some
uplifting trance courtesy of Cybernaut &
Black Hole and onto some rare old
school trance courtesy of innovators SYT
before moving through a party anthem
courtesy of UVX and onto the psych/prog
sounds of the Magic Mushroom Band. The
journey then continues through some mellow
grooves delivered by Children Of Dub
(featuring Lou Palmer on vocals) ,
Astralasia and Under The Honeytunnel before
the final phases of the journey where we
come to an end with the chill out sounds of
the Magic Mushroom Band, Children Of Dub and
Another Green World.
Although many of the tracks have been
available physically before there are some
rare tracks here - the aforementioned
opening track of Astralasia which has never
been released before, the SYT track Echo
System originally released as a12" single,
the Magic Mushroom Band track 'Turban
Paranoia (Bombay Mix)' originally released
as an extra track on the now sold out ep
'Freshly Picked' and the 'Under The
Honeytunnel' track originally a 12" only
release." |
