SPACE is a new alpha seven release on SOFACOM - ambient, electronic, atmospheric. Thumping beats, distortion, soaring strings and that rare thing - a catchy tune. SPACE is inspired by the SPACE AGE exhibition - organised by the V&A Museum of childhood and touring the country - at the time of writing it has just finished at Sheffield's Weston Park museum.

SPACE? WHY? Peter explains...
I was approached by the museum originally to provide some music for the gallery space so I went to see the exhibition. SPACE AGE is about exploration, design and popular culture and for me it stirred lots of memories. Not only of watching Space Patrol from behind the settee but also all those factual television programmes such as Tomorrows World where the future was always something exciting - we'd have endless leisure as robots would do all the work - we'd be living on the moon or mars - sickness, poverty and crime would end - we'd control the weather - have endless, cheap energy as we colonised the stars.
Well - didn't quite work out like that did it and clearly I am BITTER that the BBC lied to me for years. But there is still stuff going on that inspires. Such as Jodrell bank - I used to live in Cheshire and could see it from the end of the garden. So I've dedicated the CD to it. Not enough songs get written about radio telescopes in my humble opinion.
