Astral Projection - For All Mankind [Iboga Records]

[sszecret]

Damn, I lived to see this. It actually happened.

So far, of the new material, the title track and Himalaya (last one from the album) are the highlights for me. The closing track in particular reminds me a bit of Unbelievable Technology, AP's own psybient rework for Tryptomine Dream. As for Into The Void, though not new, it remains an excellent track.

I know there's a vinyl release through Diggers Factory, but I'm curious if they'd do a CD release of this. I don't know whether this was confirmed one way or the other. Does anybody know?

On a somewhat related note, the thread title should probably be changed, since we know the album name and label.

I'd be interested in CD release too. Seems a bit unlikely though... Would be nice to prove me wrong though!

Have listened to it once and although it needs more plays iam happy with what i heard so far. Hymalaya is already a stand out for me, made me think of You Are My Salvation soundwise.

It's also avialble on Bandcamp:

They've done CD releases for every single other album, even for those also released on vinyl.

I assume maybe they're waiting to see how the batch of vinyl sells before announcing the CD too? AFAIK Diggers also sells CDs.

I may just be a massive cock sucker for AP, but fuck man I love this album

Standout tracks:

1. Astral Projection - For All Mankind (Original mix) (8:52)
2. Astral Projection - Into the Void (Original mix) (7:18)
3. Astral Projection - The Dream (Original mix) (8:38)
4. Astral Projection - Himalaya (Original mix) (10:43)

After al the hype, I expected a bit more, all these tracks are fine for a few listens, but not a real stadnout track here. Into The Void is my fav, but that one we already knew. The Dream has a great melody progression but I dont like the Kennedy speech sample, its oversued as hell
7/10

Bought this on Bandcamp earlier, and added to my iPod.
Hard to pick a fave when I’ve only listened to the album once, but Into The Void was probably the stand out track.
Solid album though, and hopefully there’s not as long a wait for their next album!

Nice return from the king

 

[Gijs]

Had this on my bucketlist for a while, genuinely don't know why I kept holding off on it. Another highlight of 2025 with practically no misses here

Bloody Nora! It's finally here! After 15+ years of hype, nothing can match the expectations but this is as close as it can get! It's amazing how even 30 years on, nobody is able to make a Goa track sound like AP - their tracks are full of warmth, energy, relentless hypnotic drive, and the best base and kickdrum in psy. I was starting to lose hope in both the album and also in the genre since even Ovnimoon is doing a lot of less Goa nowadays.

Reminds me of how long we had to wait for 'Airdrawndagger'. I had a quick spin through and sounds great - melodic acidy wobbliness : )
I'll listen fully later.
