Here's some more Vandroogenbroeck for you all. This time he focuses his attention on space music and the results are satisfyingly weird and unnerving. A few of the tracks didn't really connect with me but I quite like the more minimalistic "Voices" along with "Galaxy Recall" and "Lost Planet" which could easily fit onto any good sci fi film from the early 1970's. "Strange Lady' is also rather good and creates visions of swimming in a lake on some far away alien world. The cover art gives you some idea what to expect with this one. It's an album that is out of the ordinary but not necessarily extraordinary.
