The British band Blur recorded “Far Out,” which was played on Beagle 2 when it landed on Mars in 2003. Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B Goode” is on golden disc within Voyager 1. Amazingly, the CD and LP survived the landing.Īs far as we know, this is the only time a vinyl LP has gone this high into the atmosphere, exposed to the elements and returned safe and sound. On this mission, the payload and the music landed in a Joshua Tree forest in Nevada. A parachute deployed and the package landed safely. Then it popped and the payload packages tumbled back to earth for nearly 20 minutes. For nearly three hours the balloon ascended. They launched it near the Sierra Nevada Mountains. His team recorded the entire ascent of the package to 111K feet.
Phillips and his team of students launched a weather balloon with both the CD and LP of THE MISSION attached to the payload. He is also a major STYX fan.īack in April, Dr. Tony Phillips is a scientist and researcher that launches weather balloons 111,000 feet to the edge of space to measure ionizing radiation in the stratosphere. Here’s more info about the “Radio Silence” video:ĭr. (Boris Grebenshchikov in 1997) Track listing Īll songs were written by Grebenshchikov, except for "Death of King Arthur" and "China".STYX–Tommy Shaw (vocals, guitars), James “JY” Young (vocals, guitars), Lawrence Gowan (vocals, keyboards), Todd Sucherman (drums) and Ricky Phillips (bass), along with the occasional surprise appearance by original bassist Chuck Panozzo-has just released the lyric video for “Radio Silence” from their highly anticipated and critically acclaimed 16th studio album, THE MISSION. Its style was shaped after my encounter with David Stewart. after 11 albums, it would make no sense for me to move to New York just for recording a 12th album of the same music. RS crashed Aquarium, which then lived by its huge success in the Soviet Union (since late 1986 we were constantly cheered by the crowds, as if we had crushed socialism in the USSR), and placed us face to face with worldwide reality. As usual, they are right, and they understood nothing. Russian critics don't like Radio Silence because a) it is atypical for Aquarium, b) it never won any prize, implying the inferiority of Russian rock, and c) is atypical. The recording process was documented in the 1989 film The Long Way Home by Michael Apted. It was recorded and presented in 1988 and distributed in 1989. In 1987, American music producers Marina Albi and Kenny Shaffer noticed Grebenshchikov they helped him to obtain a US visa and to sign a contract with CBS for recording eight albums. It was originally planned that the album would have half songs in Russian and half in English, but in the final album there are only two Russian songs on the B side. On most tracks, only Alexander Titov (bass) is of the then-current Russian Aquarium band, the rest being Western musicians (with the exception of Death of King Arthur where many Aquarium musicians can be heard). Having by then achieved the status of the most prominent rock musician in Russia, Boris had just recently been permitted to travel abroad (thanks to Perestroika). It was hailed as the first contract of a Russian (then, Soviet) rock musician with a Western label. The album was recorded in 1988 – 1989 in studios in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, mostly with Western musicians, and produced by David A. Radio Silence is an album by Boris Grebenshchikov (simplified to "Grebenshikov" on the cover), leader of the Russian group Aquarium.
