ASTRO

Hiroshi Hasegawa is a founding member of the Japanese psychedlic noise group C.C.C.C. Astro is Hiroshi Hasegawa’s analog/space solo project. Hasegawa began his solo unit Astro with analog synthesizers in 1993 whilst continuing to play in C.C.C.C. Sadly, C.C.C.C. is no more, but Hasegawa has continued with Astro and his numerous collaborations drifting between dreamy spaced out bliss and full on waterfalls of beautiful noise. Astromero is the Hiroshi Hasegawa and Damion Romero collaboration.

Thanks you so much -- this blog is an amazing resource, so much work has gone into it...amazing. One thing I really like about it is the non-graphix intensivity, as many of the music blogs are visually beautiful but take forever to load. This is very...practical...

While I certainly don't expect an entire re-up, I was wondering if - maybe, please? - Astro & Jazkamer & Hair Stylistics - Motorcycle Fuck With The Ghostrider OR Astro - Astral Orange Sunshine might get re-upped sometime in the future?
