PadraigC So immersive that I lost complete track of time! I love the otherworldly vibe and the sense of space - like empty streets, parks and roads. Brilliant production and synth sounds. PS. thanks for the code. Favorite track: Tears of Tier 5.

Andy Bloyce This is a fantastic release from Steve. I enjoyed all of it and it had a coherent soundtrack feel all of the way through that kept up from track to track.

I could really imagine myself being in that world depicted on the cover art. I was lost in it.

I really recommend this release, it's a mature step forward and feels "composed". I'll be making a few notes for myself off the back of this one. Favorite track: Tears of Tier 5.

about

This Space Chimp returns from his intergalactic space voyage, and lands in the City of London. What the hell has happened here? Why are the city streets so empty? The birds seem to be pretty lively. At least I think that’s birds I hear.

Luckily the Space Chimp has the trusty Eurorack system, Korg keyboards old and new. Along with some other great synths to while away the hours, contemplating the better times to come.

This Space Chimp's 5th Bandcamp release, on the day of the 5th, recorded during a Tier 5 UK Lockdown. 555

Many thanks to Andy Bloyce (The Soviet Space Dog Project) for continuing to influence my musical experimentation and provide his great music for my Lockdown contemplation.

about

American Astro Monkey Project London, UK

American Astro Monkey Project presents the electronic compositions of Steve Godwin. Based in London he is still inspired by the original 1970s electronica artists Jean-Michel Jarre, Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream & UK's John Foxx & Gary Numan. Analogue synthesis still remains a wondrous world of sound exploration. Steve invites you here to come exploring with him.
