Re-Entry to Mog

Astro-Sounds from Beyond the Year 2000 (1968) is a terrible album if you’re looking to hear “astro-sounds” as contemplated by a studio orchestra in 1968. Even as a lounge album it is unmemorable save for its delicious cover art and excellent track names. If you have high expectations for “A Dissapointed Love with A Desensitized Robot” (track 7) or “Trippin on Lunar 07” (track 9) then prepare yourself for “A Bad Trip Back to ’69” (track 10). Awful. Unless you’re drinking a martini and not paying any attention. Lounge. I’ve heard better.

Still, the album has its place, especially here on MOG , for track 2 is entitled “Re-Entry to Mog.” Heh. Work that into your Story of MOG , collaborative fiction moggers.
