Lead track, 'Lunar One' is a haunting adventure of constant cosmos fascination, with our traveller leading a determined mission for advancement, "I'm comin' up on you, there's not a thing that you can do..." 'Lunar One' explores the loneliness, as well as the heroism, of space exploration & earthly escapism, "In space rock(y) (he) went up, in smoke for the crowd, with lunar ideas he got lost", but he was still "a new star for all to see", his final irony captured succinctly upon arrival, "what a messed up place, won't you take me down!"
Allow yourself just a minute with the track playing, headphones on and you’ll be greeted with the sonic burr of overcoming earth’s inertia, the stars in the sky, the vibrations of the earth and imagination dancing together in the ether to form an intricate yet consummate aural feast for your consumption.
New tracks 'Burn The Fruit' & 'Atlas' further throw the spotlight on the range of their repertoire. The former, which emerged from a percussion party with friends, pits Steve Reich in an imaginary jam with Talking Heads whilst Hot Chip, Giorgio Moroder and the aforementioned Eno fight, superhero gloves off, over the mixing desk. You'll certainly feel a more delicate acoustic edge from the latter, a psychedelic ballad set to a dreamscape while paying tribute to a tired and weary Greek titan.
In addition the inclusion of remixes of album tracks offer up more surprises. Corker Conboy add extra spine-tingle to album closer, 'Andromedan Dreams Of An Octaroon', with strings from Ninja signed Coldcut collaborator John Mathias who wrote and played strings for Radiohead's beyond-classic 'The Bends.' Corker Conboy themselves have scored success, soundtracking director Antonia Bird's Emmy-nominated 9/11 docudrama, 'The Hamburg Cell.'
The man who made The Cure's keyboards extra-Gothic, Roger O'Donnell, lends further outer-space to 'Constellation', with his unique floating gossamer sounds!
