Twenty-five years you've got on your back now. After four albums with english lyrics the norwegian psychedelicers now fulfill a long-cherished wish with the new "Weltschmerz, Baby!": no, not an album in german, as the title might suggest, but a cosmic psychedelic album in norwegian. eclipsed asked Burt Rocket (vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass) and Jürgen Kosmos (also vocals and guitar) about the background.

eclipsed: What is immediately noticeable: you are now singing in Norwegian. What's the matter with you?

In addition to his two psychedelic rock albums "Tune Up" (2015) and "Roots Conference" (2017), London-based Jack Ellister has released a number of singles and EPs. With "Telegraph Hill" a 9-track-28-minute EP is released, which he recorded almost single-handedly and with which he takes a path: Spartan LoFi songs are now announced. eclipsed has asked him about the background.

eclipsed: "Telegraph Hill" was originally intended as a bridging EP between two albums. When and how did you realize there was more to it?

The Swedish band SKRAECKOEDLAN presents their new album "Eorþe" ("Earth"). It is a collaboration with sci-fi author Nils Håkansson and tells a 1920s story in lovecraft dimensions, divided into eight chapters or songs. Nils Håkansson wrote the story especially for Skraeckoedlan, and especially in the limited box versions the whole thing is refined to a true total art value.

Kate Bush, who turned 60 in July, is one of the most innovative, experimental and influential artists in pop history. Her career is marked by unorthodox decisions, the urge for artistic freedom and at the same time the need to close oneself off to the public. The English artist is cranky, she has shifted and blown the boundaries of pop music while still preserving a sense of the sellability of her music. On the occasion of the re-release of her complete work we look at the experimental moment of Catherine Bush, CBE.

Although Roger Waters presented his first opera "Ça Ira" a few years ago, he is usually not regarded as a classical composer. However, the now 75-year-old already came into contact with classical works in the school choir of his hometown Cambridge and later became enthusiastic about Hector Berlioz' "Symphonie fantastique". Waters' latest classical coup is a new recording of Igor Stravinsky's anti-war piece "L'histoire du soldat". Interesting: Waters does not appear as a musician, but as a speaker.
