Album Notes

Eighteen selections of Mark's unique blend of contemporary classical and futuristic electronic music are smoothly structured into a sixty-minute suite; while five, evocative space poems--created by accomplished poets, recited by professional actors, and underscored by Mark--chronicle the thoughts and emotions of a lone space traveler spinning deeper and deeper into the cosmos.

"E=mc2" ©1961 Rosser Reeves
"Perhaps Where He Is Only Loving Rockets Can Land" ©1969 Brian Patten
"Oration For A Space Shot" ©1969 John Fairfax

Poems recited by Richard Gould and Charmaine Blakely Budaska.
