Exclusively restored dynamic 24 bit remastering from the original master

Ahora Mazda existed in a dark corner of deep space at the heart of the
Dutch psychedelic underground. From 1968 until 1970 they were the house
band at Fantasio, the epicenter of Amsterdams hippy movement. Drawing
inspiration from Ornette Coleman, Soft Machine, John Coltrane, Captain
Beefheart and others, Ahora Mazdas gravity-defying, self-described
"musical freedom trips" exploring regions uncharted - journeys without
maps. Released in May 1970, their only album is regarded by collectors
as one of the hidden gems of Dutch psychedelia, and is sometimes likened
to the best Krautrock groups of the era.
This deluxe 180gm double-LP set presents the original album in its
entirety, plus a second disc of unedited live-in-the-studio performances
from the same sessions, all mastered from the original tapes. The
gatefold sleeve features the beautiful original cover art by Rik Lina,
along with rare archival photos and liner notes by Ugly Things magazines
Mike Stax.
