Psychadelic/Space Rock is the best way to describe this recording. The group is Doug Walker's brainchild and the music is heavily influenced by Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Temple on the one hand, but with its heavy free jazz elements it also at times approaches music like Gong and Soft Machine. This is Alien Planetscape's only "commercial" release and it is currently out of print. Many other recordings are floating around among fans, but Doug Walker died in 2006, thus ending his career.
