Gli Astrali (The Astral Men)

An Italian pshychedelic group from Turin. Gli Astrali (The Astral Men) have performed many concerts but no discs during their period of activity (1967 - '68). A LP almost ready at that time, "Viaggio allucinogeno" (hallucinatory travel) was edited on CD many years later (1995) by the label Destination X. In the album were included Yardbirds' covers (Mr. You Are a Better Man Than I, in italian "Noi non siamo come voi", "we aren't like you"), Byrds (Eight Miles High, "Vado su in alto", "i'm getting higher") and an original instrumental suite "Un Altro Viaggio Allucinogeno" (another hallucinatory travel).
