Beyond the Moon and onwards into deep space; Destination - Mars. The latest single from The Simonsound is a cover of Kraftwerk's 'Tour de France' which soundtracks an imaginary journey, or tour, of the red planet Mars. Heavy drums and Martian friendly synthesiser and FX supply a cosmic backdrop for the interplanetary message of goodwill delivered using the Vocoder.

it was broken, yet it formed itself anew. it stands slowly on atrophied legs, sinews taught and wires loose. at its full height, the sun is momentarily blocked out and a chill descends on the assembled crowd. it is wondrous and terrible in its unnatural shape. Leiyun
