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
