OSC Fan Newsletter Jan 2025
Welcome to the new year and hope you are all doing well in the world of insanity. While we try to all disappear into the world of music, where we are safe, the weather, the rulers of the world, are going mad and trying to take us all down with them… We will not put up with it so what can you expect from us in 2025???
The Collective met in Stockholm for a studio session that was pretty fun despite the cold, grim, dark weather. I flew in from Portugal, Jiri and Mogens came from Denmark, Christian (Yur Gagarin) came from Goteborg, and we met with Jonathan and Mattias at Roth Handle studios. Wespent the first two days making the soundtrack for a short, animated film. That was fun and co Then we started to jam. About 6hrs of material was recorded over the next two days. Some great
stuff as always and some new areas explored Sadly, the Relaxing in the Himalayas LPs were warped and had to be repressed, so they will not
come until the end of January.
The West Space and Love III LPs also had problems and had to be repressed. Links are below… Both are released on Space Rock Productions.
In April, we hope to have the new double LP/2CD, Alotta Hella down in Estrela released on Space Rock Productions. The LP features 4 tracks (one is 50mins) and the CD contains 2 bonus tracks (38 mins) not on the LP. It was recorded in the 2022 session in Portugal and features Dr Martin Weaver (Wicked Lady), Luis Simoes (Saturnia), Tim Wallander (Ex-agusa, Ozric Tentacles), Hasse Horrigmoe (Tangle Edge), Jonathan Segel (Camper van Beethoven), Dr Space, Jiri, Mogens and Pär….
We will also release a film of us live in the studio recording Od
to a Black Hole on DVD with a new 5.1 surround sound mix by
Dr Space.. When I find time, I hope to mix some of our olde
records in 5.1 like The Black Tomato and Sleeping with the
Sunworm. April 11-12th, will be our 20th Anniversary shows and like our 10th anniversary show, we plan to have many different people playing the 4 different set that will be played, and we will have amazing light show of P&P from Germany (they do the lights at Fuzz Fest and other festivals). there will be an afterparty each night with the band til 2 and special merch, poster gallery, etc..
Please buy an advanced ticket…

In May we will play the Spaceboat in Hamburg for the 10th time. Wow. Amazing. Thanks to Sabine from Sapphire and Space Rock Productions for putting
in all the work that is required to make this happen. There are
still tickets available. The shows are May 23-24th-..

Also coming in 2025 is the Kozfest 2023 DVD. I have to
apologise up front though as I fucked this one up and send
Ruben, who did the amazing video editing job of the show, the wrong mix of the audio so the audio is decent but our amazing drummer Tim is really buried in the mix. The upside is if you are bandcamp subscriber or buy the DVD, you will get the proper audio mix which sounds great.. Sorry, I fucked it up….

If you liked the more laid-back CD from last year, Espaço, you would also dig, Espaço 2!!! This will be a band camp subscriber CD and limited numbers will be available for the fans… I also expect the fans will get the multitrack recording of the Lygtens Kro gig as well (this was also filmed) It is also possible; I get finished the DVD from Winter Jazz festival 2022 in Copenhagen.

We will likely also have another studio album out later in the year, either from the new session or one called Probably you´re Wrong, from the 2022-23 sessions. We will see..
We were trying to set up a tour in Sept down to Italy and back, but this has failed. IT is still possible we will do a weekend of gigs Sept 4-6th. We will see. It is nearly impossible to set up a tour anymore. Sadly…
Who knows what else might pop up. Jonathan will have gigs with Camper van Beethoven in the USA this year, probably 10 more albums with Astral Magic and other cool collaborations. Dr Space, will have another Alien Planet Trip volume, perhaps another solo CD, Doctors of Space will have two CDs……
Thanks for all the support, you folks are what keeps me alive….. getting the guys together and making music for us and the fans.. peace, love and space rock.. scott and the ØSC…
