Interesting to read here about their name origin being from Skydiving. It's what I first noticed and reminded me of my skydiving days. It's from a little poem, in the style of an incident report, we would sometimes recite. I have no idea of it's origin but it's very much a memento mori to remind us of the fragility of what we were doing and appreciate the beauty.

Blue skies, Black death
Time in sport, One day
Number of jumps, One
Cause of death, Impact!

Sounds like it wants to break into an old InXs song.

Are those 64th notes for the snare drums?  I wonder if anyone's done 128th or 256th notes.  Let's really level up that trap beat.

Doing my best. English is not my native language. I think you understood what I said so that's a win in my book.

Back in the 90thies this would be the theme song of some serial key generator you got with your illegally obtained version of Duke Nukem 3D.

was just thinking I wanted RP to play something electronic.. not a bad tune, but wasn't jumping off my seat to choose whether to shazam or check the website to see what was playing and save it forever lest i'd lose it and never remember what it was called..   fading from memory quickly.. unremarkable.. please play me something as awesome as Delerium...

So a few months later the song isn't in daily rotation anymore and I have to learn to count. You are getting old Jota.

In fact, it has been played 4 times in the past 30 days.  Is it that cool?

It doesn't match either of the images you linked to. However, it does seem likely that they and the designers were inspired by that era and style of illustration.

Will have to ck it out milleronic.  I still have a bunch of the oldest OMNI magazines,..when they were at their best.  I found this song Quite a treat, especially being played after a Floyd song that I never heard in my 50+ trips around the Sun!

It's songs like this that make me appreciate RP even more (I honestly thought I'd maxed out on appreciation for RP) because it challenges and allows listeners to experience new music that they may not have otherwise on their own. How many of you really liked this song but wouldn't have heard this without RP? Whether I give the song a 6 or a 2 is really besides the point... you gotta love the eclectic variety and be thankful for the care that goes into RP's song selection. They regularly take everyone tuning in on new, unexpected and wonderfully provoking musical journeys. Truly the best!
