Critic's Review
John Patterson, All Music Guide
Take the data transmissions of Voyager to NASA from Jupiter, gravitational wave audio studies, and NASA imagery-mix it with the imaginative minds of four talented people and you get Spacecraft. Seven space music, electro-ambient, journeys await you. Chris Blazen on Electric Sustaining Koto, Akai Sampler, Tony Gerber on Memorymoog, Minimoog, JD800 Synths, John Rose and his wife, Diane Timmons, on Roland synths pull the stars and solar storms down to your living room. These electronic musicians open up unexplored nether regions on Spacecraft. Think Eno's Apollo space sounds, Roach's miasmas of the universe's breathing in The Magnificent Void, the avant garde works of Subotonik, and Salvador Dali on lysergic acid. Only on the last track, "Destination Infinity" do we gain a sense of resolution, a signature Gerberian area I'll call, "the final answer revealed." This is trippy stuff, drenched in creative vision, pulsing with the droning hymns of cyborg priests evangelizing distant worlds. Take a chance and wander the unknown. This release is ripe pickings for any of you budding sci-fi movie makers for soundtrack material.
