Sun Dial's debut full-length, Other Way Out, is the stuff legend is made of. It's compelling late '60s influenced psychedelia came from out of nowhere and soon became eternal. The power of word-of-mouth, fueled by tremendous press accolades (Mojo Magazine called it "possibly the greatest psychedelic album of all time"), has since turned the record into a touchstone in the psychedelic and prog-rock communities.

Originally released in 1990, Other Way Out is an unsung masterpiece of classic �60s style psych rock. It�s a culmination of Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd, Can, Hawkind, and classic rock ala Hendrix and Cream. It has an organic, warm sound to it, making it sound like less a product of its time than a relic from the �60s. It�s a pleasant acid trip of an album. It�s very engrossing and involving, with each song taking you further along on Sun Dial�s musical journey. Other Way In contains alternate takes and non-album tracks. If you�re a fan of classic psychedelic rock, there�s no reason why you shouldn�t own this. Other Way Out never got its due when it was first released, but those who�ve heard it know that it�s essential listening.
