Does that sound a bit off kilter to you?
It’s probably because it’s set in a 7/8 time signature, which makes it a driving, disorienting journey that mirrors the unpredictable trajectory of the space race itself.
We have a layered arrangement of analog synths, soaring guitar textures, and locked-in rhythm work giving the song an urgency—fitting for a narrative rooted in competition, dominance, and destiny.
It’s tempting to dismiss the lyrics in this as pure stream of consciousness with no real story.
In one sense much of comes from phrases and images we have already experienced in the space race.
“The seeds of life planted in the tranquil ocean.”
“We come in peace for all mankind.”
This track deserves success just for its sheer quirkiness.
I’ve been listening to it for a while, and just noticed the odd key change subtly slotted in there.
It’s a very clever track, it’s got me completely drawn in.
The coming CD has 10 tracks, I really hope they are this good as well.
It will be released later this month via Bandcamp.
