Moonbase Alpha by The Junta
Recorded between 2021-2022, the bones of it during while I had Covid! ALPHA...My little love letter to SPACE 1999, of which I was a fanatic when I was younger. BEATBOX was inspired by Kraftwerk acceptance appearing on the BREAKING soundtrack. 4AM wanted to do a Pet Shop Boys-lite soundtrack. And finally, if I could speak to my former self through a wormhole, without disturbing the spacetime continuum...then
FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS is what I'd say without giving me spoilers..
