Description


brand new album on fortuna pop produced by the legendary martin rushent. the pipettes were never your typical pop band and now they're back to prove it. they've put the polka dot dresses on ice, brought the boys out of the shadows and had a change in the girl department too. their musical roots of sculpted, self-confessed, unabashed pop remain intact, but with a fresh new take. written with the idea of imagining what a disco in space would sound like, the record is an exploration of what might happen if all the genres and styles that have set the dance floor going for the last fifty years were loaded onto a rocket and fired into the stars. what would motown's transition as marvin gaye and diana ross started to veer into philly soul and the emerging compositions of larry levan sound like if that development had happened on mars? (answers: 'i vibe you'; 'i always planned to stay'; and 'our love was saved by spacemen'). what would the disco divas and social misfits of the seventies be listening to if studio 54 existed on a giant space station orbiting saturn? (answers: 'from today'; 'stop the music'). how would the motorik euro pop of the eighties such as the human league and stock, aitken and waterman translate into the bedrooms of the children of the eighties if they lived on some cool planet we'd never heard of? (answers: 'call me', 'thank you').
