From Melbourne comes the new project featuring members of acclaimed down tempo band All India Radio. Fans of All India Radio will have plenty to rejoice here - the ambience and wistful melancholy are abundant - but this time with more synthesisers! Big Spaceship's debut album Dream On is a gentle, electronic mood-enhancer somewhere between New Order and Air with enough lift and joy to fill your ears for months.

The album features guest vocals from Glenn Richards from Augie March and was co-mixed by Michael Paul Stavrou (Siousxie & The Banshees, David Bowie, Kate Bush, Cat Stevens)

"With the advent, and subsequent popularity, of electronic keyboards and percussion instruments came a new era of music. Although such instruments widely fall into the 'retro' category these days, at the time they were a glimpse of the future; they were the soundtrack to science fiction. Martin Kennedy - he of All India Radio fame - dreams in sounds that recall this vision of the future through music, and has captured its essence better than anyone, with Air and Moby coming close but nowhere near as finely tuned. Often drifting into Jeff Wayne territory, Dream On is the comparative calm and optimism to The War Of The Worlds' mayhem and doom, constructed in such a way as to invite images of ET-like beings who 'come in peace'.

Dreamy and ambient, the album flows from track to track as though they were motions in a rock opera, or soundtrack, rather than a pop album, making the experience of continued listening one that is bound by theme, emotion and imagery that is, in itself, commonly bound. Quiet and delicate, Dream On is exactly what one would derive from both the title and the band name, and well worth a listen for anyone who is in the mood for a little bit of fantasy in their head. Lovely stuff."
