"There is as yet insufficient data for a meaningful answer" and "Let there be light" are the key sentences of
Isaac Asimovs science fiction short story "The last question" from 1956 and this sentence is said by the giant central
computer Multivac giving an answer to itīs drunken attendents in the year 2061 wheather entropy is reversable in a time where the
resources on earth were running out. The sentence "let there be light" is a resumee ten billion years later when the
cental computer has discovered this secret and starts a new genesis. Isaac Asimirovs short storys inspired either Stanley Kubrick for his Space Odyssee 2001 and more than 50 years after its release Penny And Ashtray, the Osaka based low-tech computersound weirdos who to search with their own Multivac epigone processor Neurovac for this secret. More than 50 years before 2061 they seem to be right in time. Penny (Momonyo Kubo) and Ashtray (Tamutso Ide) from Osaka, whose idols are both John Travolta and Linus Torvalds and who already released the maxi "12" Floppy Disco" on saasfee connecting Japan and Frankfurt as progressive bleepfloor rockers deliver 10 hot new tracks for their first album release and avoid to be specified for one typical genre. The Secrets of Galaxy Z include a mixture between future disco, experimental and psychedelic tracks on a weird trip through the universe of bleepy space-a-delic sounds. "Craxx" the opener is a funky tribal acid track, "Gravity" is a majestic space anthem, "Bent" gets bleepy, "Heat Death" sounds like the breakdown of all engines that die down in the heat of a killer sun, "Melt With You" is a very romantic anthem that reminds a bit of the greatest hits of the French electro pioneers Air, "This way up" is like a soundtrack for an interstellar workout for the astronoauts. "Wrong answer" sounds like a space casino in which the jackpot has just been hit, "Zip Zak" is a bleepy march and "Blip on The Floor" their minimal retro game sound floorsmash-classic. The last track is called "Theme for Nobody" and shows the excentric humour of the Japanese masterminds. Conclusion: "A computer never becomes an angel" - thatīs the slogan of Penny and Ashtray - listen to the secrets of Galaxy Z in either in progressive bars around the globe and on experimental dancefloors - you will love it more than anything that was played there before. |
