Title: ASTRAL SOUNDS mega pack
Post by: vslava on March 27, 2019, 03:09:44 PM
ASTRAL SOUNDS is the project with a huge number of records (21 from 1977 to 1986)
My dream for years is to collect all the rips, and now I have most of them.

I took them from different places, doing denoising and declicking when need, and partially made own rips.

Below I upload all I have. I think it will be useful to arrange this project in one place.
Also I hope somebody add the missing ones !

there are no even mp3 in the internet, so I suppose only you can help ))
Title: Re: ASTRAL SOUNDS mega pack
Post by: Mr Rain on March 28, 2019, 03:43:14 PM
Oh! In that case I will do it. I recorded one track for a mix I did and I just listened. An occasional slight crackle in the background but it sounds pretty good. I hope the rest is as good.

Thank you Vslava, you shared a couple of upgrades for me.

I have Chartbreakers ripped I think too. I think have the others on LP but not yet ripped.

This 'Mixed Sells' is ripped as a FLAC but I'm knackered so lazily have pulled it off my portable walkman player-- I don't think it compresses or anything but if it does I can pull out the HD and get the original rip off there.

Vslava, I'm slowly trudging through your list of wonderful uploads. I'm both grateful for what I've found already, and excited about what I'll find next as I progress. Thanks very much for your generosity.

But now I have a question that I hope you (or somebody else) can help answer in re: DWSLP 3378 - Kaleidoscope

Your rip contains 17 tracks. The additional track is #3, titled Chroma but I'm scratching my head wondering why Chroma isn't listed on the rear cover.

My old mp3 rip of this LP contains 16 tracks. I've also checked Discogs, which also lists only 16 tracks. None of them contain any mention of Chroma

Common sense might suggest that Discogs is wrong, but there's still that nagging question of why Chroma isn't listed on the rear cover?

Are you able to please check the labels & see if Chroma is listed there?

I've heard of "Easter Eggs" & other in-jokes, etc being placed on a product, such as within a DVD or video game. I suppose that's possible in this case, but Library Music is a business and probably not prone to playful mischief.

This is a minor detail compared to a fine WAV rip, but still, it's got me puzzled. If anybody can help me find the answer, you get a gold star and a happy face for today  ;)

Thanks again for your amazing pile of Astral Sounds  :)



Addendum:

Astral Sounds did a track called Chroma for the DWS/LP 3493 - Scorpio LP.  I'm going to assume that Chroma was somehow included in the Kaleidoscope rip and the answer is simple as that.

Is this the correct answer?

Chroma is on ‘Scorpio’ LP.

Chroma is on ‘Scorpio’ LP.


Thank you, sir. I'd just posted that as my 'theory,' but I wanted confirmation from another source and you've done that. 'Cuz you know what happens when one assumes too much...  ::)

I just considered the addition of Chroma as an unintentional bonus. Value added, doncha know  8]
