The oldest track, Stardust (The Picture), was already recorded in 2014 and previously released in instrumental form on two live albums, before finally receiving its definitive studio treatment with vocals and additional overdubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt;\"\u003eThe eight-minute opener The Loop shows the band surprisingly structured and song-oriented, before Stardust (The Picture) transitions into a pulsing two-note trance with ghostly, heavily distorted vocals by Komet Lulu. With the sustained, sitar-laden Astral Hitch Hike and the over twenty-two-minute epic (You Will) Live Forever Now, an almost classic 70s atmosphere unfolds at the end, somewhere between Hawkwind's Mellotron era and dark, Eastern-tinged Krautrock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eStardust Rituals\u003c\/em\u003e tells of the journey through the inner cosmos and the realization that nothing and no one is ever truly lost. After all, we are all made of stardust.
