Album Description The Echo from the Purple Dawn is a brand new full-length from C.C.C.C. member Hiroshi Hasegawa's solo project Astro. Using a battery of oscillators, ring modulators, and field recordings, Hasegawa has created an engaging and versatile album that masterfully drifts between spaced-out analog dream drone and a more extreme form of harsher droning. As Astro, Hasegawa is able to combine some of the harsher influence of C.C.C.C. into the world of analog space music to create his signature sounds. Includes a live track recorded at a festival at the Tokyo Keizai University organized by Tetsuo Kogawa. Cover art designed by John Brien, Jr.
