Moon – The Area Of Influence uses samples from the NASA control room and celebrates the Moon landing 50 years on.
Jeff Mills has announced a new 13-track album of space-inspired techno, which is said to explore the relationship between the moon and the earth, in an ethereal ode to the 1969 Moon Landing. Moon – The Area Of Influence will be released on 19 July via Axis Records and will include samples directly taken from the NASA control room.
“There are influences of the Moon we can detect, measure and document as scientific facts,” Mills shared, “If these are perceived as rational explanations, then it should raise questions about the possibility of other unseen mental and metaphysical connections humans have, not just with the Moon but with all other celestial bodies in and outside this Solar System.”
“This album and the imagination that helped to produce it should be considered as a proposition with open-endedness and no foreseeable conclusion” he added, “It is a chemistry of facts and feelings based on then, now and forever.”
To coincide with the release, Mills will perform a 60-minute show of Moon – The Area Of Influence on July 20th, which will be streamed live through the Axis Records website.
