A precursor to Astral Projection, 'SFX' (abbreviation of 'sound effects'), was formed in Israel in 1989 and originally consisted of Avi Nissim and Lior Perlmutter. They released a hit single in 1991 named "Monster Mania", which prompted them to start working on an album. After this release, Guy decided to leave the group and the remaining members eventually changed their name to Astral Projection. They have produced nine albums, some of them reaching positions on best selling album charts abroad. The most recent album is
Ten which was released in 2004. They have released several singles since then. Astral Projection's tracks "Open Society", "The Prophecy", "One" and "Strange World" were greeted enthusiastically by Goa and psychedelic trance fans. The release of their EP
Open Society was pushed back first from January 2008 to 2010. Astral Projection's website attributed this to a dispute with B.N.E., the label which they originally had agreed to release the album. The EP was finally released by
Trust in Trance Records on 7 September 2010. On 10 February 2010, the New Astral Store opened on Astral Projection's website, making virtually all of their music available for a download fee in MP3 or WAV format. Their EP,
One, was released 12 June 2012 on TIP Records. In December 2014 they released
Goa Classics Remixed, an album containing reworks of other classic Goa trance artists' tracks. In November 2023 they performed for IDF soldiers in the middle of the Israel Hamas war. In September 2025 they released
For All Mankind. ==Discography==
