More Tunes



We in Space Castle Astro Al are always craving new tunes to dig.

Here’s some fine stuff we’ve been spinning lately.

The GoatMan Orginal Soundtrack by the Unseen
This is a most 70’s groovy find. A soundtrack to a movie that may exist or may not exist. We were hipped to this by our friend Garry Lee who is a dj for the great Starship Overflow show. Thanks Garry!  Here’s a link to Garry’s show
There’s a lot of cool creepy sounds on this here GoatMan recording.
It reminds of us of the Astro Al cd Psychedelic Drive In Music which is about a drive in movie theater that no one knows for sure if its real or not…
The GoatMan soundtrack has a great story and visuals behind it. Give it a listen here:

Read about the story behind the insidious GoatMan movie at the link below.
Warning this link isn’t safe for work!

We’re also digging the latest release by prog super Swede’s Opeth. Their latest is called Pale Communion.
Check it out for a fun filled dive into epic time changes!

So go forth and dig some tunes!
Yours in happy listening,
Count Robot

We at Astro Al don’t just like to make sounds, we dig hearing them too.

What are we digging at the moment? Lots!

Mission Creep: On the Sea of Suns
It’s space party jazz for the groovy kids

Twink: Critter Club
Always a good time in the garden of toy piano party tunes

The Unseen: The Goat Man soundtrack
Trippy freak out horror soundscapes

Hedersleben: 2
Yeah I can’t pronounce their name either but I can bathe in the glory of the
sounds they make

Electric Wurms
It’s the Flaming Lips under another name making one of their best albums.
Fantastic!

And the Stupid Shall Inherit the Earth




I would never claim to be a genius or the smartest man in the room. I understand that not everyone is smart, and I hardly count myself in the realm of gifted thinkers, we can all have good qualities and a high IQ isn't always one of them. One thing I will never understand is when someone covets their stupidity and uses it as a shield and armor to protect themselves from learning.







There is always a chance to grow, learn, and improve so why cling to being a moron?

Goodbye Garou


The greatest werewolf we ever knew has left this planet.
As many of you may know, Garou, one of the hosts of the great horror show, Penny Dreadful’s Shilling Shockers, has lost his real life battle with cancer.
We in Astro Al land are huge fans of the show and had the pleasure of meeting Garou a few times. He was as funny as he was furry.
We will miss him always as much as we will treasure him always.
Our condolences go out to Penny and her great fang gang.
If you want you can make a donation to the American Cancer Society in his name. American Cancer Society, 30 Speen St., Framingham, MA 01701.

yours in remembrance,
Count Robot

The Swirl of Words


What is what was for you and me.
Retro Drive In midnight horror show finds revenge in the haunted forest of the back seat of the sweaty teenage car.

What is Astro Al doing?
Were have we been hiding? Under a bottle of course.
It’s empty now.

We’ve got a video 85% done for our upcoming musical endeavor, Space Outer. A collection of oddly oddball tunes. Some titles Include Lady Etheria Owns A Unique Airship, Set the Controls for the Heart of Khan, and Cocoa Clouds the Chocolate Dimension.

We’ve been working with the amazing and amazingly crazy Harts Horn. This collection of strange tunes have been collaborated and constructed by the three of us. Given both our crazy schedules this one won’t get done this year but then again one never knows…. Happy with the stuff coming out. Wish Harts Horn and Astro Al could do more stuff together. Perhaps what doesn’t make it for this one could be the beginning of the end of our next project together.




Space is time and time is waiting for space.

Drunkenly yours,
Count Robot
