sleeve design by Chris Sigdell

"The music of this abum was inspired by the 1973 Apollo 13 mission which had to be aborted after an oxygen tank ruptured two days into the flight leaving the astronauts unable to complete a lunar landing

Makeshift repairs were made under supervision from ground control while families and friends were left hoping and praying and waiting

The universe is a vast and cold and very lonely place
It dwarves any human ambition
nevertheless space is the place"
