About Spacewreck

a science fiction concept album

In deep space an astronaut is woken from hypersleep. His ship's computer has detected a massive, but apparently dead space craft hanging motionless in the void a million miles from anywhere.

The astronaut leaves his craft to investigate, crossing the bleak vacuum to enter the wreck via a rip in the side of the enormous hull. Somehow that gash reminds him of the legendary gateway to the land of the dead.

Meanwhile, deep in the bowels of the wreck, something dark and unstable fizzles with life...

Spacewreck is a musical story, somewhere between a soundscape and a dreamscape, the soundtrack to a film you'll only find in your imagination, describing the journey the astronaut takes into the depths of this enigmatic dead craft.

Inspired by music from the likes of Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel Jarre, Hawkwind, and all those strange electronic film scores you used to have in science fiction films (Forbidden Planet, Logan's Run, Tron), yes, it's a concept album, and yes nobody sings on it and there's no narration, and yes, it's weird. But the world needs more weird!

Spacewreck is now available freely to download as mp3s. Just go to the Tracklist & Downloads page!
