John Peel
, International Times
First reissue; remastered sound. Includes full-color booklet containing informative liner notes by collector
Jack D. Fleischer
prepared from artist interviews, as well as full lyrics and rare photos. Mirroring the sentiment of the prescient UK radio legend in his Vibrations column for the International Times in the '70s,
LightDreams
leader
Paul Marcano
took one step beyond his intimate colleagues and chose to spread his ideals concerning peaceful outer-space colonization to all with open ears.
Islands in Space
, dotted with acoustic jams, backward guitars, lyrics alluding to the British progressive era, smoking-hot electric leads, synths galore, and the dreamiest of melodies, is both Marcano's love letter to the work of science-fiction author
Gerard K. O'Neill
and the psych-tinged folk explorers who came before him such as
McDonald and Giles
. Originally privately issued in 1981 in an edition of 1,000 copies,
Islands in Space
explores space travel and cosmic ideology in a sci-fi psych odyssey and is filled with atmospheric, lysergic creations atop a hybrid of sounds from the cosmic psych/progressive folk/new age spectrum. Home-recorded (yet hi-fi),
Islands in Space
carries a singular quality, defies easy categorization, and has long been savored by collectors of otherworldly joys. This singular, beatific work now has another chance to shine from Earth's surface to the outer reaches of the galaxy. RIYL:
