on official note:
Arjen couldn't make a guest appearance on the album because he is very busy with his new major project (good luck, Arjen!). Harvey Bainbridge also won't appear on this album, the reason is his extremely busy schedule and we just couldn't wait anymore. Maybe next time!

The new Space Mirrors album is in finishing stages. It's titled "Memories of the Future" and based on themes of mysterious ancient races, ancient astronauts, the danger of big corporations taking over the world, the mystic search and Frank Herbert's "Dune" novels/movies. Alisa Coral and Michael Blackman worked hard to make this album possible and it's worth it! Alisa wrote most of the music but this time album includes two songs from Michael. Keith Kniveton (Starfield, ex-Hawkwind) recorded an excellent MiniMoog solo for one song. And hopefully all the following wonderful musicians are also will guest on this album: Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon, Star One), Harvey Bainbridge (ex-Hawkwind), Martin Litmus (Litmus) and Metatron from the UK cult Black Metal band "The Meads of Asphodel"!
Also the amazing cover of Hawkwind's "Opa-Loka/Uncle Sam's on Mars" was recorded.
Tracklist of "Memories of the Future" includes:
1. Maya "Last Flight" Ceremony
2. Creatures of the Twilight
3. Travelling to the Core
4. Death Inc.
5. Eternal Search
6. Mysteries of an Ancient race
7. Feed The Serpent
Dune Trilogy:
8. The Prophecy Fulfilled
9. The Space Crusade
10. The Golden Path
bonus track:
11. Opa-Loka/Uncle Sam's on Mars
