Album Notes & Community Reviews
Commissioned specifically to celebrate NASA's 2001 Mars mission, the electronic music pioneer delivers an overwhelmingly grandiose choral symphony. The album largely eschews synthesizers in favor of a massive, 120-piece choir and full classical orchestra, constructing a profoundly epic, martial, and sweeping space-themed masterpiece.
