Wait a minute I can see a flag fluttering in the wind.. And the earth is flat too! What the hell is going on eh?

Great ambiance, but the high end is completely missing.

The Brain/Mind Research recordings are very loosely based on Voyager PWS waveform data, but if the two were compared side-by-side they would be unrecognizable. These are essentially a creative interpretation of the actual plasma waves (space audio) but not an even remotely accurate reproduction. The actual unmodified space audio is not nearly so soothing and not nearly so marketable.

This is a fantastic recording and hints at the hidden musical complexity surrounding us all the time. Hearing true space music makes me re-think the need to compose ambient music at all, but rather to devise new ways of recording what is here already.

It sounds like "abstract" ambient electronic music, but is actually data that NASA captured during the Voyager missions. Amazing.
