Three albums down the road, Astralasia released the compilation Astralogy, and then signed an American deal with the industrial pronounce Cleopatra, which issued The Space Between in late 1996 and then 2 albums in 1997: Septenary Pointed Star and Septet by Seven. One year later, Astralasia released their eighth album in as many years, White Bird.
