Mir Express - Mission Cassiopée:

17th of August 1996 the launch of Cassiopée space mission to MIR International space station with on board Claudie André Deshays the first French women to reach space.

The lyrics are taken from the french TV news reporting from the launch.

Salamandres de l’Espace:

The second track insiste on the experiments conducted by the French astronaute on salamander embryon in weightless condition, in order to prepare inhabited long distances space journey.

The track features a TV news live interview in duplex from MIR space station with Claudie André Deshays, a week after the launch of the mission.

Moutons Electriques:

It evokes the existentialism questioning toward feedbacks from the machines, referring to Philip K. Dick novel Do Androïds Dream of Electric Sheeps?

Voyage Au Centre De l’Univers:

In the video the closing sequence evokes the relativity theory which made the launch of rocket outside of the stratosphere possible. As an Expressionist Astrolabe, the Einstein Turm erected by the architect Erich Mendelsohn in Potsdam, is an instrument to prove the E=Mc2 formula as much as a gesamtkunstwerk.

With this short improvisation in dialog with their own machinery, Mir Express tries a contribution to space rock inspired by Hawkwind.
