Processing 23 relatively short tracks of off-kilter exp-electronics, drill’n bass, ambient, noise, glitch, braindance, and space station soundtracks, the album is filled with atmospheric debris and four PSAs to keep us in check along the way.
A smorgasbord of distinctive musical styles
Aeon Cub (aka Canadian Vincent Fugère and Montreal-based Camomille Music netlabel founder) was inspired by music genres accessed through Quantum Radio and composed as a soundtrack for the spaceship building toolkit An Infinity of Ships as well as being conceived as music heard on the Deep Space 909 experimental arts station.
On Transmissions from Deep Space 909, Aeon Cub presents a smorgasbord of distinctive musical styles. Processing 23 relatively short tracks of off-kilter exp-electronics, drill’n bass, ambient, noise, glitch, braindance, and space station soundtracks, the album is filled with atmospheric debris and four PSAs to keep us in check along the way. It’s a bewildering collection that could have benefited from more fully-realized tracks, even while every one of them maintains an abundance of twisted electronic concepts and experimentation; at times blissful and flowing, and at other moments, haphazardly serene.
You get the best of both worlds in 23 succinct audible data chunks. Highlights include “Space Bap,” “Quarters & Critters,” “In Retrograde,” “Maneuvers,” “Unknown Codes,” “Brobot Shuffle,” “Auld Sine Infinity,” and the closing cinematic symphony of “End Swing”—all of which would make for a perfectly compact sci-fi EP.
