I saw it here in Sydney on the weekend but haven't heard it and haven't
bought it. They are playing live here in a few weeks time and will try and
see them. I suspect they are hard-ish or deep trance.
The Australian label you mentioned is Psy-Harmonics, an excellent trance
label from Melbourne (Oz) releasing some interesting artists. Some salient
info I've accumulated...
--------
Psy-Harmonics was set up in 1993 by musician Ollie Olsen (Whirlywind, Max
Q, Third Eye) and Bruce Butler (label manager, ex A&R manager for Virgin
and promotions manager for Sony in Australia) and were joined later by
producer/engineer Simon Polinski and artistic designer/DJ Andrew Till. The
label is fully independent and plans to stay that way. To date the signed
artists are;
The Psy-Harmonics discography as of September 1994 is;
. Third Eye, "Ancient Future"
. Mystic Force, "Everglade" (EP)
. Zen Paradox, "Eternal Brainwave"
. Third Eye, "New Life" (12")
. Lumukanda, "Red, Black & Mellow" (12")
. Zen Paradox, "The Light at the End...?" (12")
. Lumukanda, "Araglin"
. Mystic Force, "Mystic Force" (12")
. Various, "Psy-Harmonics Volume 2"
. Third Eye, "Dance of Creation"
. Aquila, "Aqua Divae"
. Mystic Force, "Frontier"
Their address is:

Some of the music has also been released through Nova Zembla, particularly
Zen Paradox and Lumukanda, as mentioned before. I can particularly
recommend the first three discs in the list above.

PS. I saw Oliver Lieb play here the weekend before last. Two excellent live
sets including some nice heavy (sequenced) drumming, a la Ambush
(ref. TEEX2). His mate Sven is visiting here soon too. Hmm.
