. . . with a brand new axe, sharp like a razorblade made from cold steel like the hull of a spaceship; forged by the forces of a black sun . . .
- wait a moment -
Apparently, yours truly is getting carried away a bit. Maybe our latest crewmember is somehow responsible
Anyway - just welcome this handcrafted beauty and stay put for some musical results dropped here very soon.

Dear Audiophilonauts,
not only are we about to get real with the album, we’re also getting real with the guitars now — maybe even exactly now, this very moment!
So, allow me to introduce you to our newest crew-member, a Jet City PicoValve. Yeah, I know, it reads ‘pico’, but it doesn’t sound pico at all! This little box indeed makes a helluva noise, ask my neighbors!

The sound from the left Celestion speaker will be miked and put straight into our DAW. We’ll also record a clean track, so re-amping will always be possible at a later point in time. In fact, we’re running that clean track through a virtual amp anyway. Mixing both to taste will give us a fat (as in phat) guitar sound.
First results will be on display here shortly!

Woe to you, oh Earth and Sea, for the pre-production of the Album has sucessfully finished!
We have 18 Songs (not counting possible bonus tracks). All keys, drums and bass tracks have been recorded in their final version. Next up: Guitars, solo instrumentalists, and, of course, vocalists. Aliens of the universe, we’re about to get real! Applaud us long and hard
Yours truly 2094,

Don’t worry, while Helge is constantly remixing all tracks from scratch (which means: applying all that we have learned during our long (hey, spacetravels take their time) journey and futhermore recording the final synthesizer sounds) some guy who is writing this here right now, has put some energy in #14.
Yes #14, that’s not #13 for sure. So don’t panic!
But he is not doing this alone, why should he? This song becomes one of the really rare ones that Helge and he composed together. Most of the other songs were composed by either him or him
and were nevertheless voxarized afterwards. So be prepared for a small glimpse beeing dropped here I.Y.N.F. (in your near future).

…compared to timeless dimensions in the multiverse? Seeing that the last events in the voXager headquarters are lightning fast. Just one song needs yet to be composed. It will be a highlight on the album, be assured.
Many songs were having their final guitars recorded during the last days; there is progress, boys, girls, dogs, cats & maybe robots!
Keep on visiting, get the latest news, voXager is preparing for liftoff!

… 8 prophets must come to us.
Clap your hands and please welcome a new member in the voXager universe. Created by Dave Smith, travelled through time and space it finally arrived in one of our headquarters. It’s name is Prophet 08, it’s mission is making some hell of a fine analogue sound. And that it shall do in our and of course your near future.
Stay calm, stay tuned, be full of expectation

Or in other words, The Sohnen
We have a new roughmix. It’s song #12, which is now actually #13. Have fun!

A while ago I noticed that, storywise, there’s a gap between Song 9 and Song 10; the story failed to explain why Elena Kho suddenly appears on Argon Prime. This is a pretty crucial thing in the story, because it’s here where she meets Kyle Brennan again. So I decided to compose another song to tell the tale. And this is it, Song 9b, Getsufune Down:
The title might change, though; I’m not happy with the ring of it. Moonship Going Down is a hot candidate.
And while we’re at it: The working title of the album is Beyond the Heliosheath. The problem with that is, I don’t even know how to pronounce “Heliosheath”. Nobody does, except perhaps astrophysicists. Also, it’s too complicated. So I’m looking for something nicer that has a similar meaning. Something in the vein of Beyond the Sun or Beyond the Ocean of Space. I’m not decided yet. Any suggestions?
Well, however… stay clean. You too, Binary One
Yours truly

We don’t believe in guitars. That’s why there are none in this version of the song. But we might be inclined to add some at a later point in time. Perhaps, right? Perhaps! It all depends on whether somebody brings forth convincing arguments for guitars. Can you?
On a more serious note though. We’re still staying the course as layed out last november: Prepare all songs without (real) guitars and vocals first, then record them all in one go. This is song #11, we’ve got five more to go, plus possibly an additional one. Stay tuned; we’re getting there.
So have a listen to “Conference of Disbelievers”, composed by Sven, deciphered, programmed and implemented, as usually, by yours truly, the BOFH of the starship USC Voxager.
Don’t sweat it, dear girls and other alien lifeforms of planet Summer!

Dear space monsters and monstresses!
It’s that time of month again. Here’s another rough version! It’s song #10, “Seventeen Lightyears”. So there are six more songs to go until preproduction is done. We’re getting there, so hang in. In the end it all will have been worthwile.
Here ya go:
Have fun!
