Belka and Strelka

We made it back alive, so to celebrate we commited the music we wrote on the journey to a tape back at base.

Sorry it’s taken so long to make it available but we were waiting for malicious damage to reform after a long deserved break. In the meantime we hitched a few rides with the orb, jimmy cauty and any other nefarious travellers we could find without undue prejudice against weightlessness [transit kings all, but that’s another forthcoming story].

All useful influences were fed back to our computer… lately, user-friendly operating systems obsoleted a lot of our original work because any yuri, oleg or anatoli could produce the same sounds, so we went back to our old fashioned instruments. Holed up in a disused projector room where the ealing comedies were originally dubbed, we unashamedly plundered a latent partiality to jazz, dub, hip hop and dance.

The loot was infused with the detritus of our current day jobs in scoring… resulting reminiscences on our previous extra-planetary adventures became tales from the projector room.
