Been away a while. Watching Apollo 13 and was reminded of this.

'We're off to a good start. Play it cool.' PSB is a London duo named Wrigglesworth and Willgoose. They take found sounds from old archives, mix them with modern electronic instrumentation, and the end result is for my money, rather eargasmic. Their 2nd album is titled The Race For Space and it should be available for purchase online or at record stores by the time you read this. I don't read books that much anymore cuz I'm lazy, but one book I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend is called Failure Is Not An Option by Gene Kranz, NASA Flight Director for the Gemini, Mercury, and Apollo missions. He's the guy shouting "RETRO.. FIDO.. GUIDANCE.. CNTRL.." in his book Gene explains he never actually said those words the Ron Howard movie Apollo 13 says he did. Failure was very much an option at the time, but it's one Gene never accepted. The NASA space program is one of the greatest achievements in human history. Here's hoping humans will go back to the moon and beyond someday.   5

Public Service Broadcasting use a captivating combination of guitars, electronics and vintage public information films, I know it sounds like a bit of a mishmash however its bloody brilliant!   4
