about

Sun Dial is the vehicle of guitarist and singer Gary Ramon, who started recording in the eighties as The Modern Art. He changed the name to Sun Dial when forming his live band in 1990.
The new album „Messages From The Mothership“ takes it's inspiration from Gary Ramon catching sight of a UFO in desolate marshland at the age of fourteen. This gives way to a theme throughout which is especially prevalent on Side Two.

There are elements of 'Pink Floyd', 'King Crimson' and 'Hawkwind' but the album has all the elements of Sun Dial's 'Other Way Out' and those in the know are calling it their best work since then.

After Sulatron released some Krautrock influenced albums by Sun Dial (and the spaced out Quad album, Gary's old sideproject) it's back to guitar-psych and the tracks have Gary's unmistakable vocal and guitar work interspersed with 'Hammond', 'Mellotron' and various rare keyboards.

Side One has well crafted, shorter tracks which could all be singles in their own right. Side Two leans more to the Progressive and Krautrock, culminating in possibly Gary's best ever guitar work on the finale, 'Saucer Noise'. His astonishingly intricate soloing sounds like a man possessed by an otherworldly force.

'Messages From The Mothership' is a focused but 'Out There' album which will please Sun Dial fans and surely win them a generation of new followers.

LP on black, 180 grams, recycling wax made in Germany, plus download code, limited to 300 copies!

"If you’re a long-term fan of one or more of the participating groups or of modern acid rock in general, you won’t need much convincing to add this gem to your collection. But even if you’re completely unfamiliar with this whole scene, yet interested in dipping your toes into the wide world of spaced-out guitar music, I would highly recommend this idealized ISS homage as a gateway experience to the genre." my full review on Veil of Sound: https://veilofsound.com/2022/09/23/VA-ISS_Vol1.html Der Ohlsen
