He and Spoko teamed up with "the Prince of Dance" Elbee Bad—who wrote and sang the lyrics on the track and it's lithe as anything, it's an elasticated slapper of a record, a rolling and roiling affair, riding along on a Baikal-deep bassline that sounds determined to lift you into zero-gravity.

|
|
The sample of DJ Ray Ray's "She Rode That Dick Like a Soldier" in the song's despondent, zero-gravity second half (us Torontonians might as well call our sound "Scarborough sludge") is an example of the kind of regional mix-and-match that's had rap listeners joking about Drake representing every 'hood in America since his rise to prominence.
|

Popping small arms fire at a German zeppelin flying over the charred remains of the French countryside is, to me, a lot more interesting than fighting vague "ultra nationalists" in the present day and pulls my should-have-been-a-history-major heart strings in a way that abstract, zero-gravity fighting in space never can.

There are lovingly detailed passages on the mechanics of going to the toilet and cleaning your teeth in orbit, the dangers of muscle wastage and other minutiae of life in zero gravity, but all the whizzy space business is harnessed to the basic question of what it means to leave and whether it's possible to come back.
|

Dance music has the power to puncture and redirect popular culture, and when Mike Cervello dropped "One More Time" at zero-gravity, or Carl Sagan selected the Golden Records, or in 1987 when the cosmonauts on the Russian spacestation Mir gave Didier Marouani's album the honour of being the first CD to be played in space, they all testified to this power.
|
|
The first and biggest is that, so far, there is no plan in place to protect Mars voyagers from dying of radiation before they even get there; nor do we really even know very much about what it would entail to keep all the muscles inside a typical human body from atrophying over the course of an 20183-day trip in zero gravity.

" As advertised, Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas pile on the disco like a Studio 54 regular who can just never have too many sequins, but not even the zero-gravity bassline can mask the original track's underlying sadness of a young woman singing about her existential crisis, the confusion of it all exacerbated by cyclones of whirling and bleeping sound effects, plus what Fader identified in an interview as "a sample of her three-year-old self screaming.
