The Magic Mushroom band had released nine albums in the period 1982 through to 1994.In 1990 members of the Magic Mushroom Band embarked on what was to be initially an offshoot band or part time project if you like. This project was the Ambient trance band Astralasia which although sharing members of the Mushroom band were actually more dance oriented than the Mushies as they were now known. By 1992 however, the band were devoting about 50% of their time to the offshoot band Astralasia and were experimenting more and more with the ambient dance led direction of that band which has continued up to the present while the Mushroom Band have been on indefinite hold since 1995. Despite the fact that the band has been effectively on ice since the mid nineties there remains a strong and highly motivated fan base that appreciates the Magic Mushroom Band. This live recording dates from 1989 when the band was breaking out of the "Cult" status they had enjoyed for much of the previous few years. As such this live recording will be welcomed by not only the fan base of the time but also the fan base that has grown up since the band took their hiatus.
