Soft Rains of Delta Cephei 5 / Various on CD

Equipped with the latest analog technology, Radio Khartoum breaks free of the Earth's gravitational pull and sets out in search of the Soft Rains of Delta Cephei. Leading the charge are Spain's SOUVENIR with a chilly bossa that heads from the sea to the Milky Way. Ex-Cha Cha Cha alum SPACEHONKY takes US on an electronic journey through zero gravity to a close orbit around one of Jupiter's moons. France's HITORIBOCCHI returns from "The Stations of Abandoned Days" with a decidedly "2001" classical groove for heavy spacecraft in deep space. Japan's 800 CHERRIES touch down on seemingly familiar solid ground with a laid back icy pop song - but it's hard to be certain if they're really on Earth or not. INSTANT LIFE (Sweden) are on Earth, to be sure, but their retro-futuristic thriller theme forms a wrinkle in time. Finnish RK stalwarts CESSNA (new album in early 2002) team up with analog synth maestros NU SCIENCE for a triumphant finale, a voyager theme, destination unknown, but blissful... Umbrella not included. All tracks exclusive.
