Progressive Rock / Psychedelic Rock
Astra is the second and also the best known album by this South African psych rock group. Their debut album was a pretty mediocre psych rock album but Astra is a clear step forward. The album includes various styles of material ranging from heavy psychedelia to early prog and space rock. All in all this is a satisfying and a quite consistent package.
Although Astra isn't a masterpiece in my books it still has all the elements required from a good psychedelic rock record. The album is a mega rarity as the original pressing just like the other two Freedom's Children albums as well.by CooperBolan, rateyourmusic
