This is from the alien band Galactaron's second album "Replicator's Tide." Galactaron takes their human friend, Emily Wong, to her first new planet. However, the planet has been consumed by self-replicating nanobots that, unbeknownst to her, have evolved into a planet-sized brain.

Unfortunately, the planet doesn't like Emily.

The album will be released on August 22 but is currently available for preorder on iTunes!

Good Morning Emily

 Space is a very large place and it is not very densely populated.  So when a new species or life inhabited planet is discovered, the various citizens of the galaxy quickly want to greet them and learn about them.

Drawn by radio waves, Galactaron focuses in on Earth and they travel a great distance to learn about us.  When they finally reach Earth they land their massive red, egg-shaped space ship on a frozen lake in the upper Midwest of America.  There they meet Emily Wong, a 20-year-old Chinese-American girl who lives with her father.  Emily quickly befriends Galactaron and decides to give them a personalized tour of planet Earth.  That’s when they start to discover what earth is, what humans are, what we have to offer, and what we will take away.

Because they’re aliens, they often have trouble communicating.  They don’t have human tongues so they have to use computer assistance to help them speak.  However, they also don’t realize that the people of earth have more than one language.  It’s similar to how one might assume that a dog from Australia could understand a dog from Russia because they’re both the same species.  Galactaron tends to assume the same of us and they have trouble seeing regional differences like we can.  When they speak, it is often a jumble of words from many different languages mixed together.  The meaning is there, but the sound is sometimes incomprehensible.

Singer has no face and no ability to express emotions.  The people of his (?) world are travelers.  They try desperately to learn about emotions because they do not understand them.  Each person on his world earns masks that express all the emotions they’ve come to learn and understand.  The oldest and greatest of their people have hundreds of masks, each with a unique expression on it’s face symbolizing every emotion that the wearer has learned.

Singer is curious, young, and inexperienced.  He has his neutral mask and has only learned three other emotions: Sadness, Anger, and Happiness.  In visiting Earth, Singer hopes to continue his education.

Let us welcome Galactaron to Earth and hope they have a pleasant stay!

Husky Rescue - We Shall Burn Bright (Transmission from Galactaron)

The original version of this song comes to us from Cambodia. The lyrics are roughly translated into English as follows:

The birds are chirping,
to and fro.
My love,
have you 
forgotten me?
As water can't 
cut through the sand,
I can't﻿ cut you 
from my memories,
The bridge (between you and I)
has broken.
The pathway is gone,
and the water to cross is so very deep.
How am i to find you on the other side,
so far away?
Here is the video that has music in it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdiV2gUadT0 
We also just released the stems: http://galactaron.bandcamp.com/album/birds-are-singing-but-my-lover-wont-return-album-with-stems

Birds are Singing but My Lover Won't Return (Transmission from Galactaron)

This is a cover of the song "Asteroid Dance Part 1" by Alex Brandon. It was a song created for the game Tyrian, a shareware game released in 1994. It was eventually released as freeware in 2004. It's a very fun game. Guitar enjoyed it the most, obviously, that's why he wrote this song.

Because the game has recently been released as freeware, that means you can download it for your computer and play it. It's open source so it works on many OS's. We highly recommend it: http://code.google.com/p/opentyrian/

This is our remix for the Guster remix competition. We were inspired very heavily from 1980's music from the US and Britain for this song.

If you enjoy it, give it a vote! We could really use it.

Sorry that they ask for your email, but it would mean a great deal to us.

Hei Dong

Hello! This song is to introduce the shyest member of Galactaron to our fans.  Synthesizer is really quite timid, but he does enjoy his keyboard.

This is the pre-release version of this song.

Galactaron - The Synthesizer (early version)

Space is a very large place and it is not very densely populated. So when a new species or life inhabited planet is discovered, the various citizens of the galaxy quickly want to greet them and learn about them.

Drawn by radio waves, Galactaron focused in on Earth and they traveled a great distance to learn about us. When they finally reached our planet, they landed their massive, red, egg-shaped ship on a frozen lake in the upper Midwest of the America. There they met Emily Wong, a young Chinese-American woman who lives with her father. Emily quickly befriended Galactaron and decided to give them a personalized tour of planet Earth. That’s when they started to discover what earth is, what humans are, and what we have to offer.

Because they’re aliens, they often have trouble communicating. They don’t have human tongues so they have to use computer assistance to help them speak. However, they also have trouble recognizing that the people of earth have more than one language. When they speak, it is often a jumble of words from many different languages mixed together. The meaning is there, but the sound is sometimes incomprehensible. Emily Wong seems to be the only person who can understand them. 

We welcome Galactaron with open arms and hope they have a wonderful experience here on Earth!
