Apollo Dub (Original Dubplate)

Last weekend Neil Armstrong, the first human to set foot on the moon, died at the age of 82. Of the many things that amaze me about the first manned moon landing, the communications between ground control on Earth, the command module orbiting the moon, and the lunar module are particularly fascinating. I can only imagine the excitement, anxiety, nervousness, and thrill of the entire team working together moment by moment; each step taking them further into uncharted territory. Some of that comes through in their voices, and I've chosen to focus on those communications as the centerpiece of this dub.

Cosmic Awareness

This is a dub version of Chicago-based reggae band The Drastic's great tune "Cosmic Awareness." I've added my own drums, guitars, bass, dub sirens, and keyboardist Robert Reichner joins me on organ. Allen Thompkins helped with post-production.


You can find out more about The Drastics in these places: 
thedrastics • http://www.thedrastics.com/ • http://www.facebook.com/thedrastics 
and you can hear the original "Cosmic Awareness" here: Cosmic Awareness by thedrastics


The spoken word section of the song is a reading of an excerpt of the treaty oration of Chief Sealth (from whom Seattle takes its name and took its land) in 1854 in which he speaks about the cosmic awareness of his tribe.
