THE REVIEW

An avocado smoothie seasoned with nutmeg significantly amplifies the hallucinogenic amphetamine contained in the spice.
Raw beetroot, if taken in large doses, is a bomb of neurotransmitters capable of accelerating all brain functions with a widespread "exciting" action on a creative level. Unverified (but also not disproven) are the rumors that attribute psychedelic properties to the sun- or oven-dried banana peel filaments, subsequently smoked.

This collective from Oss, Netherlands, has been feeding on the fringes of the rock universe since 1999. Gallons of legendary classics like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Hawkind, then Thin Lizzy as the milk+ and a dash of Parliament/Funkadelic to increase serotonin and thus make one more sociable. Open vision, taste even before the intuition of flavor, and the ability to architect sonic trips projected into the future. It took me a month to align my skeptical stomach with their biorhythms. Then I surrendered to the sound oxymorons of these Astrosoniq. A magnificent salad of spinach with strawberries and toasted almonds covered in an alien sauce of bizarre samples and space echoes, all immersed in a groove of thick, dirty yet captivating sounds.
An adventurous trip with a sci-fi plot where you will be transported from the deepest caves of stoner doom to the borders of the most nuanced rock, metal, noise, jazz, punk, psychedelia, lounge, and funk, mixing in brief hydrating concentrates where the song form shines and is exalted.

Fundamental elements for psychophysical balance.
Add a seat at the table.
