The Solar System – An 'Adventures in Nature and Science' mix

Just a small treat, no professional thing. Each electronica composition taken as a sonic map to a landscape with peaks and valleys often with no continuous beat. Walter Cronkite narrates the journey through our local, outer spacial neighborhood. A little lost audiobook from Panorama’s Colorside Nature and Science Program, courtesy of Columbia Record Club, 1961.

Choice tunes from my overgrown library play accompaniment: Germany’s bright new lights, some ancient Pete Namlook and Geir Jenssen (The Fires of Ork), a Jeff Mills orchestral rendition, local Los Angeles wonderboy Kenneth Graham, a slow-mo Chemical Afrika and modern ’90s classics from Innersphere, Pluto, Eat Static and astrophysicist Universal Machine aka Lorien Ferris.

Sprinkle in the gorgeous Luke Chable and Chris Gainier remix of Bjork, Pig & Dan’s heartbreaking ‘Futile’ and I think you have something distinct. I hope you agree. Happy Thanksgiving 2008.
