Sendelica Present the Epic ‘Complete Mankind’ 8-CD Set
Hello everyone, Phil Aston here from Now Spinning Magazine with more new-release news – this time from the wonderfully psychedelic and progressive realm of Sendelica. Mark your calendars for May 9, because the band’s brand-new box set, “Complete Mankind,” delivers a colossal 8 CDs of ambitious, exploratory music spanning a four-album series (plus tons of extras).
With glowing reviews hailing Sendelica’s music as everything from “mysterious cyclic ambience” to “doom-laden power chords” – you know you’re in for a cosmic journey of epic scale!
As many of you know I am a huge fan and have featured the band many times on Now Spinning Magazine and have also interviewed Pete Bingham twice now – So I am more than excited about this release!
Behind the ‘Mankind’ Quadrilogy
After their freeform Cromlech recordings, Sendelica flipped the script: swapping communal jamming for songwriting demos that blossomed into multi-layered sonic narratives. The result? Four albums – each exploring humanity’s history, myths, and possible fate – culminating in a “complete Mankind” saga that Pete and Colin initially thought would be a trilogy, but ultimately expanded to four volumes:
And Man Created God (2021)
One Man’s Man (2022)
Man, Myth and Magic (2023)
Requiem For Mankind (2024)
Add to that four more discs of demos, outtakes, and remixes. That’s over 50 tracks and roughly eight hours of mind-bending music!
What’s in the Box?
8 CDs in a DVD-style case
4 CDs covering the original double albums
4 discs of bonus material: demos, outtakes, and remixes
Limited to just 200 copies
A comprehensive booklet chronicling the backstory
You’ll hear everything from raw bluesy psychedelia to cathedral organ and orchestral sweeps; from spaced-out guitar lines to hypnotic sax solos. It’s like an entire cosmic anthology of Sendelica at their most experimental – fuelled by frontman Pete’s fascination with Ur, Sumeria, and the historical roots of religion and humanity’s trajectory.
This will be an odyssey for the mind and spirit. These four double albums tell a tale that’s at once ancient and futuristic, weaving myth, history, and existential questions about where we’re headed as a species and music fans!
So if you’re ready to lose yourself in eight hours of swirling, genre-hopping psychedelia, grab a copy while you can – with only 200 sets available, Sendelica’s “Complete Mankind” is primed to become a rare collector’s piece. Keep spinning those discs, folks!
