[wipedtoo]

Great video - well done.

Astra's album The Wierding was one of my favourites from 2010 ... can't recommed it enough.

[ruxdaa]

Also, awesome vid!

[ruxdaa]

OMG, contact high...

[Huroniso]

This reminds me of one movie cartoon called: "Wizards" there is a scene very close to this one.

[wz3d]

@Huroniso

That's cause it's all taken from different Ralph Bakshi and he made Wizards. I believe I saw some cuts from that movie in the video.

[polski1977]

stunning vid!



[TheSacredSound6]

I'm reminded of early Twelfth Night here. I'm glad I discovered this band, thanks for posting!

[Leadlobotamist]

First time I heard of them,great sound. BTW nice video,goes great with the song!

[DaughterofKyuss]

Wow, this video is awesome! Good work!

[skubaro]

homemade O.o !? pretty awesome .

is there animation with the same visual style ?

[cocoadelete]

Wow, really cool sound and video could use some theremin though.

[klee66]

One of the best albums ever. The title track and " the river under " are classics and it's good to know that it's new music cause you usually have to delve way back to find shit this good. Class band!!!!

[wunnamurra]

cool, it works on many levels

[vagante]

[mattborel]

very cool!!!

[CrisTheKryptKeeper]

I came...

[TheXanthousSound]

Where can you get this version of the song? I actually prefer it to the one on the album.

[Cabalfromhell]

<Goes round and round on my mp3-player...keeps all the noise away..they are awesome..hope they will come to Sweden soon..\m{

[NationUnderTheSwine]

The video is awesome!

[eerawb]

you couldn't handle that shit on strong acid man.

[robibm2003]

Kinda Hawkwind-like at times. This was well done for what it was.

[oliasdoug]

This definitely IS great-sounding psychedelic/prog rock--I especially enjoy the phase-shifted electric guitar & mellotron! You guys have a new fan here. Long live Prog!

[Tengent]

I really like the fact that there are bands playing progressive (meh this is psychedelic art rock) music still, but it isn't very ... unique or exciting. Great video nonetheless.

[sprdthemayo]

i recognize the old lord of the rings footage from my childhood. however there seems to be some extra footage. any idea where its from? plenty o roto scope there! great visuals!

[septic77]

This video was done by one of Astra - namely RICHARD VAUGHAN

good work Sir!

[pbs924]

another strobe or outskirts or soma,its been done before!

[Rolandzebub]

That . . . was bad ass.

[bunecodemacumba]

great band, great song. You said "homemade" video, dude, you really got an hability on doing this, great visual style, the mixing dark age knights, pre-historic tribes and war machines... great result.

congratulations. (the guys from astra should consider inviting you to plan some more videos, "Ouroboros" would be a great one)

[PHAEDRIDER]

yeah the guys from astra ought to ask you to do their next video!

[Flashingflash]

He didn't do it.

It's the lord of the rings rotoscoped version and an astra track over it.

[bunecodemacumba]

it still rocks...

[someonecalledA]

Awesome song pretty nice clip!

[FIP100]

Som do caralho. mothafacking sound

[battistotti]

great song

[Kohntarkosz]

Looking forward to seeing Astra at NEARfest.

[TwoGreenWizards]

the fact that they put rotoscope footage of the movie Wizards (one of my favorite movies ever) along with this amazing track is fucking great. I'll definitely obtain a copy of this album

[HellHammerX]

wow, haven't seen that movie in a decade or two. One of my favorites. Because of this video, I ordered it on DVD

[DuckNazi]

This is the first cd in a long ass time I'm going to buy. Shits epic.

[CheBroadway]

This is crazy... seemingly Hyborian... great track

[EyMeng]

LONG LIVE ANALOG

[shammadamma]

I absolutely love this band! Thank you for making this video. And people, order "The Weirding." You will NOT be disappointed!

[Ursamare]

Is there any way you could be persuaded to upload some more?

[hexonatapeloop]

Very impressive, worthy of amon duul II

Keep up the good work

[Vanguard1302]

This shit is fat dope horny porny!!!

[chewy9]

Fantastic Band and you have done a fucking great job on the video!

The Weirding is one of my top albums for this year.

[Piratauzt]

FANTASTICO

[margix]

I can't believe there are still American bands playing REAL music!!!!

Great eco-prog sound, a sort of old future or new past

[EyMeng]

lol Moody Blues

[Shellewell]

@margix ...what about dream theater?

[gixmar]

@Shellewell I appreciate the amazing musicianship of DT though I don't salivate for their genre and sound...too much tecnique and very little soul for me.

I love the band formed by Mike Portnoy called TRANSATLANTIC instead,they are wonderful.

And I bet Mike think the same as he had enough of DT and left the band.

I love also the last cd from Jordan Rudess but it's a record of cover of masterpieces from ELP-Genesis-King Crimson etc......

[Shellewell]

@gixmar well i was just pointing out that there are american bands playing "real" music. transatlantic are awesome but just prefer theater. The music in dream theater wasn't the issue with mike leaving though, it was more the feeling within the band itself and so on, really he wanted a hiatus, he effectively was DT, the biggest presence within the band writing most of the stuff

[gixmar]

@Shellewell mmmm...I think Mike want to play also different music.

I noticed him was very happy and moved when DT played the tribute To Pink Floyd's DSOTM and when he play with Transatlantic.

[Shellewell]

@gixmar mmmm... i think i have all theaters albums and they are a huge part of my life and that i have therefore seen pretty much every interview with all the members about it. theres no suggestion anywhere that the musical direction had anything to do with it

[sugarplumhellspawn]

made =]

[anthonymerrill]

Very good indeed!!!!
