CD out of stock iTunes  Monolith As Lonely As Dave Bowman 2015 Projekt PRO318 (CD) A 73-minute electronic space music album from Projekt's Sam Rosenthal. Unlike Sam's work in Black Tape For A Blue Girl, Dave Bowman is full-on electronic music: droning space, wordless drift with long suspended passages. Covering Bowman's journey to the Monolith near Jupiter, the album touches the edges of isolation and glacial solitude, with a discernible warm human core. MONOLITH's epic expanses, asteroid flybys, serene ambient moments, vast open textures, and warmer hues of sparse remoteness are barren, yet without leaving the listener abandoned. Think of it as drone insulation rather than drone isolation.   1.  Failure of the AE-35 unit Radio Antenna MP3 7:23   2.  Moon-skimmer MP3 18:01   3.  Manoeuvring over the Jupiter monolith MP3 6:51   4.  A long, dark corridor filled with lights.
