This is extraordinary from Exodus Recordings after Mr. X has given space travel such a bad name, Lorenzo Galardi re-imagines Ennio Morricone 'Mission to Mars'  as a four track EP, 'CYDONIA'.


Starting from the cover image of 'Monument House of the Bulgarian Communist Party, 1981, Bulgaria' to the pre-blast off opener 'Ignition', this is something a bit different as we go into 'Orbit' with communication radio waves getting warped and distorted. 

The title track is HSTT (High Speed Train Techno) with haunting space winds that's for long speed journeys; if Sun Ra did/does techno, this would be close to it.   

So when it comes to the remix, not surprising we get someone who is out-there (Ed. Argentina?) who had a EP out last year, Hakkon's 'Neural Petterns' (on Conceptio Hipnotico) that takes 'CYDONIA' into the testing phase of wind tunnel to bombard it with echo signals - and it passes the test.

Not sure if Ricardo Villalobos is still available for a minimal remix but this is fun in the meantime as Lorenzo Galardi is on a mission.
