Astral Groove was recorded in 1994 after
Lars Eric Mattsson having played for about a year in a cover band doing
Jimi Hendrix and Blues classics, so it is no big surprise that this
release is pretty heavy on the blues vibe. Usually described as Hard
Rock with funk and blues influences Astral Groove is a bit different
from other albums that Lars had been involved in. It was by accident
that this project ever came true. Lars had been writing the material
with the plan that the musicians in his 1994-95 cover band, Voodoo
Chile would record the songs, but it just did not work, so in stepped
vocalist Bjorn Lodin, coming from his own band Baltimoore, which had
just released it's 4th album and also split up. Bass player Michael
Ahlskog had previously played in VISION as well as on Lars' earlier
solo recordings. Drummer Thomas Tornefjell made the band complete.
Several reasons, both personal and commercial, killed the band which
never got a chance to perform live. But the music lives on - and you
can't deny that ASTRAL GROOVE was jam packed with great feel!  Lars 1994  Lars 2019
