A tiny pale blue dot A tiny pale blue dot. This is Voyager launch control. The count now stands at T minus 59 minutes. A tiny pale blue dot. Preparations remain on schedule for the launch of Titan Centaur six. A tiny pale blue dot. Voyager 1 will set still another speed record. A tiny pale blue dot. This is Voyager launch control. T minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and we have ignition, we have a lift off. A tiny pale blue dot. Going away from the Earth very rapidly. A tiny pale blue dot. Hey we got something, we got some data and it's still burning. A tiny pale blue dot. We now have spacecraft separation. A tiny pale blue dot. This is Voyager mission control out. From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest - but for us, it's different.

about

What's the biggest issue happening in our lifetime? Apart from the coronavirus and climate change, it's probably the quest to make humans an interplanetary species, starting with Elon Musk's mission to Mars. People will look back thousands of years from now and say: "That was the point when humans became multiplanetary. I wonder what it was like to live through that time?" This new album is all about the mission to make humans an interplanetary species and the controversy surrounding it. Stylistically, the album blends the huge modulated supersaw chords, rolling hi-hats, vocal chops and pitched snares of future bass with the fast breakbeats of drum and bass to come up with a different sound.
