Hah for a second I mixed these guys up with Chromeo, who I first saw on Yo Gabba Gabba. Nice space theme by the way.

The vast musical wasteland of the 80's had small, sickening tendrils that extended till 2000!

Now if Bill would just follow up with Porcupine Tree's 'Stars Die' it would make a perfect set.

Rush's Countdown from Signals would fit nicely here as well. It plays back the liftoff of the first shuttle launch. The band had been invited to attend and you get the real feel for the scene. Musical journalism, via Peart!

Could you turn down the "music" so I can hear the astronauts talk? That would be more interesting.{#Whistle}

This would pair up nicely with Hotel Parallel from Alpinestars.  Similar sound and vocals.

I said "Big Ben this here's a Rubber Duck, I say we ain't gonna pay no toll.  So we crashed the gate goin' 98, saying LET THEM TRUCKERS ROLL, 10-4"

Ahh, the 70's was a great decade for CB music!

I love this guy's music (Kevin Moore); I have his 3 Chroma Key albums, and his two OSI albums. OSI happens to be one of my favorite bands. Very similar to this, but with a little more heavy guitar work (Jim Matheos).

I just submitted an OSI track to Radio Paradise the other day ("Once") which is a great song....check it out. It is currently on rotation here....

When the segue is a "10" and both songs are lousy?
We got a DJ with great talent, but no taste? I don't buy that. I guess he just picks a few clinkers, but boy can he spin 'em!

It wouldn't be eclectic if it were all 10s, would it?


You are correct.

10/10 for transition from Mike Oldfield's "Ascension."
4/10 for actual song.

The astronaut stuff could have definitely been used more sparingly, but it's kind of neat.

Catchy in a dark sort of way, interesting use of Apollo astronaut audio.
