Since the critical and public success of their 1998 debut "Cinematique", Akasha have continued their miasmatic musical adventure. An intense creative period has given birth to more sonic innovation, deeper and darker than before. Finally they have completed a second body of work which they call "Love Philtre Magic".This strange and unique record is a potent alchemical brew of contorted rock , cinematic jazz , lush orchestration and twisted electronica from an altogether "other" place. "We have called this music into existence from "somewhere" but we don't even know where or what that place is. Some of our trippiest , most profound and emotive music to date is on this record" Amazing performances from members of the incendiary live Akasha collective have been instrumental in the creation of "Love Philtre Magick" Akasha are: Charlie Casey - guitar, vocals, drums etc Damian Hand - flutes, saxes, keyboards etc. STOP PRESS: February 2004. Akasha will release a new single of remixes on both vinyl and cd. Calling in favours from some of London¹s finest they have put together an eclectic track-listing that reflects their musical palette. 1. 21st Century Boy remixed by Simon Ratcliffe (Basement Jaxx). 2. Love Philtre Magick - Steve Hellier (ex Death In Vegas) 3. Wicca Woman - Attack of The Invisible Robots From Planet US. Akasha v. Jerry Dammers 4. Wicca Woman - Jerry¹s Dub.
