Speakers play alien comm in static slate grey hum. DIY antennae through broken windows tune into lysergic frequencies. Earthling Society have, with their new album, tried to fly higher than pilots have flown. Six journey songs reveal a glorious new far out paranoid phase for the group. More progressive and kraut-informed than before. Calling to the night owls with their urban late night drives and desert trips.

Liquid synths and flying saucer guitars play a different kind of space rock. It's the space between your ears where the lotus wheel suspends, turning and turning, never ends....

Now it's time.

The much anticipated fourth album from lo-fi kraut-angst acid rockers, Earthling Society, is out now.

"A strong contender for modern psychedelic album of the year"… Hawkwind biographer, Ian Abrahams....

"… an uplifting floating relaxed psychedelic acid folk thing"… Organ

"Another wonderful CD containing ten effervescent songs"…  Starship Overflow's CD of the week....

"A very interesting step in a new direction and quite successful"… Aural Innovations

From seventies free festival jam band… thru space punk floating anarchists with Daevid Allen (as Planet Gong) … thru reggae infused eighties indie space rock… thru nineties psychedelic trance… to present day warped tecno-retro with members of Eat Static and Ozric Tentacles… Here & Now, along with Hawkwind, are one of the most influential space rock bands in the UK – and they're still going strong.

This release is a lovingly re-mastered version of their self produced tape, "Coaxed Out from Oxford", plus bonus tracks from a raucous show at the Polytechnic Of Wales, plus a booklet with photos and special liner notes from 'Le Missile' himself.

Black vinyl, shiny silver discs or bits and bytes on your computer... At the end of the day I like to touch and feel my music, as well as listen to it. I like the physical sensation of handling what represents the culmination of a an amazing creative process. I like the sleeve, the artwork, the liner notes, the design, the credits; basically the total package. I love the expanse of an album - check out the tri-fold sleeve of Rush's "All The World's A Stage". I love, well, just the compactness of a Compact Disc... MP3s don't really do it for me though, unless they're on my iPod.

Well, if you're not as fussed as I am about having a real album or CD, you can now download 4 Zero Records' releases at indiestore.com. (But I'd much rather you buy the albums!).
