GUEST PLAYLIST: Venus II – “A Galactic Voyage To Venus”

Electronic duo Venus II have just released their debut album ‘Inside Your Sun’, a rhythmic, psychedelic fever-dream collection of tracks. To celebrate we asked Jarrad and Ryan to curate us a playlist of tunes to accompany our sonic voyage to the second closest planet to the sun!

Jarrad’s ‘Voyage To Venus Tunes

The Third Bardo – I’m 5 Years Ahead Of My Time

“I’m living inside a new dimension, I’m leaving everyone so far behind, don’t waste my time, I’m five years ahead of my time”

In the opening’s lyrics, Third Bardo are obviously feeling excited about inter-dimensional activities back in 1967. Venus II are also heading to a new dimension, but not to worry – we are not going to leave anyone behind!

Fleetwood Mac – Gold Dust Woman

The original Sister of the Moon. The Golddust woman, Stevie [Nicks], comes with us on our voyage.

Spiritualized – Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

J spaceman comes with us as well. He can be our Captain!

Gerard Mcmann – Cry Little Sister (Theme From ‘The Lost Boys’)

Until we build a time machine for our space ship, we can listen to this one and pretend we are watching ‘The Lost Boys’ on telly in ‘98, and think about how cool Star is…

Ryan’s‘ Voyage To Venus Tunes

Charlie – Spacer Woman

A cosmic flight love song if ever there was one!

Giorgia Morandi – Children Of The Sky

Perfect for take-off with champagne flowing…

Stanton Miranda – Wheels Over Indian Trails

This tune just comes on when you pop out on the other side of the worm hole and see miss Venus in front of you and things are starting to get a little weird…

Glass Domain – Interlock

You’re listening to Interlock while you’re checking the controls, this requires precise precision.
