Fire up the Epstein Drive, get settled in your crash couch and set forth on a tour of the solar system. We'll travel from the sun past the inner planets and through asteroid belt out to the gas giants, into the kuiper belt and oort cloud, and finally reaching interstellar space.
All the track titles make it clear where we are on this journey.
Incidentally, there is a comet, C/2022 E3, that hopefully will be visible now through the first week of February. It should viewable first with a telescope then binoculars and maybe even with the naked eye around Feb. 1. This mix might make a good soundtrack for viewing.

When I saw the title I guess I expected a space cruiser to put on for bedtime, like the Tronestam which was enclosed, but the overall impact came to me in an opposite vein - it had me on edge for the hour. But it is all my fault, I should know better in retrospect the solar system music isn't unusually serene and relaxing and the solar system can be a startling and uncomfortable place. Evident is the great lengths that were made to get a track for each entity from sun outward, and I think this was the main driver for this work, and it wasn't an easy thing to do. The legacy of this mix will be it's musical cataloging of the system members.
Thanks for listening & checking in.
