This track debuted on my January 9, 2023 "Escape Velocity" episode (which will undoubtedly find its way--in its entirety--on this howardthrustradio page! AND HERE IT IS:  https://soundcloud.com/howard-thrust-radio/escape-velocity-with-howard-thrust-episode-12-theme-space-rock). You can find the link to these broadcasts in my "Profile" section. It served as the opening track, introducing the theme: "Space Rock".
I've always liked "massive sound", no matter where it's sourced from; and I've wanted to do a version of this piece when I got the arrangement and sound right. (I also have another--even MORE "radio friendly" version posted on my "Howard Thrust Side 1" page. You can check it out here:  https://soundcloud.com/howard-thrust/also-sprach-zarathustra-a-space-rock-odyssey-thrust-7-version-mmountain-offensive )
In any event, all versions are played on a Chapman Baritone Guitar(ML-1 V2). It turned out to be the "key" which unlocked the SpaceRock/GrooveMetal possibilities intrinsic in the original work.
As usual, I am responsible for all performance and production tasks associated with this work .

Enjoy the ride! - Thrust

Also Sprach Zarathustra... A Space Rock Odyssey (T-Minus 9 Version)- MMountain Offensive

As with all of the postings on "Howard Thrust Radio" (see the link to these broadcasts in my "Profile" section), this show has previously aired on the radio; but is posted here purely for educational purposes.
This particular show features some Howard Thrust musical highlights (culled from my "Man Alone" work over the past couple of years) in celebration of ESCAPE VELOCITY's TWO-YEAR Anniversary "on the air"!
The fact that "Cotton" is the material associated WITH a 2-Yr. Anniversary explains the subject of the selected "Avatar Image".

Thanks for listening! - Thrust
