i thought i was an astronaut

Tuesday 27 January 2009



Is this the instrumental techno soundtrack that would accompany an epic voyage into outer space? I bet the crew are wearing metallic space boots and technicolour space suits. And there is a mirror ball on the roof of their retro space ship. Holy shit I want to be an astronaut when I grow up.

The tracks are from Europa, which is Optimus Prime's fourth album, conceived around 2003 and realised in 2008. The electronic artist from Belgrade, Serbia says it is vaguely inspired by Europa, the mysterious satellite of the planet Jupiter.

It reminds me of Spirit Catcher on heat... Impeccable disco-tech that burns late into the night.
