I love this, you nailed the ambience and voice echoing. The loneliness of space. I love the bit about Return to Sender, marked in red. Humanity should have a better mixtape if anything.

Aww, yeah really appreciate that. Was definitely trying for a "far out" vibe. Apparently it took a year to decide what's on the record and Carl Sagan himself oversaw the production of it!

Very nice Josh! I like the echo and distortion and the little tones that come in here and there, and the uneasy sonorous drone beneath it all that matches the words.

We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dreams.

I read that poem actually (Ode by Arthur O'Shaughnessy). I didn't realize it was a full poem until I looked up the entire lyrics. It's at the 17:35 mark here (Ode Bossa Nova): https://www.bitpunk.fm/@bitpunkfm/episodes/your-results-may-vary/chapters

6:21 is the SIGSALY article on that tape too.
