What I hear...

Alter Echo's dub is for world-weary androids of the next century. It is a frightening dub in the galactic sense, and yet possesses in the depths of its electronic furies a calm and beauty that can only be described as the gleam you might see along the rusting shell of a space station rotating through the blue aura of earth's thinning stratosphere.

Charles,
Another cool photo. I've not heard Alter Echo. I'll give it a try. But for music to be listened to in outer space, the music of Brian Eno, Kraftwerk or Tangerine Dream comes to mind. Fine fare.

That's what William Gibson heard too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt0mIJOn4…
Ever since Neuromancer I've thought dub was the music of space stations.

That's some weak-ass dub. And about 35 years too late, too.

This is the real space music. A NASA-Voyager recording of Jupiter.
