N(118) & Bu.d.d.A. – 13

After the stunning LP on Auf Abwegen a new work by the German/Swiss drone dreamteam, thematically based on the adventureous APOLLO 13 mission (April 1970), when the three astronauts circled around the moon several days...=> an absorbing, cinematic space drone-drama in five chapters, different moods and changes, going deeper and deeper... (feat. samples from DEAD VOICES ON AIR).

Bu.d.d.A. (short for "Bund des dritten Auges" = League of the Third Eye) is the duo of EMERGE and B*TONG, whose sound has been described as "TROUM meets EARTH together with ENO".

"N" is the project of Dortmund based guitarist HELLMUT NEIDHARDT, member of Drone Rec. artist MULTER and know for many immersive drone LPs...

"The music of this abum was inspired by the 1973 Apollo 13 mission which had to be aborted after an oxygen tank ruptured two days into the flight leaving the astronauts unable to complete a lunar landing

Makeshift repairs were made under supervision from ground control while families and friends were left hoping and praying and waiting

The universe is a vast and cold and very lonely place

It dwarves any human ambition

nevertheless space is the place"
